Putting an end to all the rumours, Arsene Wenger has made it clear that he is not going to manage Barcelona. The French manager has been heavily linked to replace Luis Enrique at the Camp Nou.
The Catalans have failed to replicate their form under Enrique this season and the Barcelona hierarchy are reportedly considering for alternative options with Wenger being one of them. Wenger’s contract is scheduled to expire at the end of this season and he hasn’t decided on his future. He has been offered a new deal but any decision hasn’t been taken yet.
A large number of supporters have wanted the veteran to be relieved from his duty. Wenger, who has been managing the North London club for more than 20 years said,
“I’m not looking for jobs in other clubs or jobs of other people. I just focus on me getting to the next level and trying to improve.
“Competent managers always try to improve and see what they can do better and reinvent themselves — that’s what I try to do, that’s basically it.
“I’ve been here for 20 years and many times had the opportunity to leave I don’t think I have to convince you that my preference has always been Arsenal. But I’m objective and lucid enough to take the right decision for myself and the club as well; the club is free to make the decision that it wants.”
