My 22-year at Arsenal ‘perhaps’ a mistake – Arsene Wenger

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has conceded that spending 22 years with the club was a mistake.

The Frenchman thought he became a prisoner of his own challenges.

Wenger found it difficult to sever ties with the club having worked so hard to rebuild the Gunners in his image.

There were plenty of opportunities for him to walk away, with Real Madrid and England having made several attempts to secure the services of a proven performer.

Wenger also faced fan protests towards the end of his reign, but he eventually departed on his own terms at the end of the 2017-18 season.

The 68-year-old admits that he should have probably made a fresh start some time ago, rather than clinging on in north London, but his passion for a high-profile job kept him coming back for more.

Wenger told RTL when asked to pick out the biggest mistake of his career: “Perhaps staying at the same club for 22 years.

“I’m someone who likes to move around a lot, but I also like a challenge. I’ve been a prisoner of my own challenge at times.”

Wenger guided Arsenal to three Premier League titles, with his iconic ‘Invincibles’ side of 2003-04 going through an entire English top-flight campaign unbeaten.
