Arsenal balls: The 9 clear favourites to replace Wenger
A quick catch-up on the inside story on who will be the next Arsenal manger. All these picks come to use via the fake-news busting BBC.
Unai Emery, who will be leaving Paris St-Germain at the end of the season, has emerged as the clear favourite to replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager.
Or:
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri, who has also been linked strongly with the Arsenal role, wants a £200m transfer kitty if he is to become the new boss.
Emery sounds cheap. Go for Emery.
Elsewhere, more news on the new boss:
The Sun says Arsenal are targeting Carlo Ancelotti.
The Express states: “Brighton manager Chris Hughton would be the perfect man to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal – if he did not play for Tottenham.”
Note: he’s so good that Tottenham didn’t want him. And he doesn’t play for Spurs. He manages Brighton.
The Express tops that ball by noting – get this – “ARSENAL’s next manager could lead the club to a Premier League title challenge next season.” Well, they could. Or maybe he won’t. Discuss.
And it also states: “PATRICK VIEIRA has emerged as the clear favourite to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.”
The Metro reasons: “Why Arsenal would prefer to appoint Mikel Arteta or Patrick Vieira as Arsene Wenger’s successor.”
Why? Because they are “young”. The Metro says only four names being considered, Allegiri and:
Manchester City’s assistant coach Mikel Arteta, as well as Patrick Vieira and Julian Nagelsmann, whose Hoffenheim side secured Champions League football for the first time in their history by finishing third in the Bundesliga, are the three other names on the Arsenal shortlist.
So much for Emry being the “clear favourite”.
The Indy then makes a statement: “Next Arsenal manager: Mikel Arteta first choice to take over from Arsene Wenger as Max Allegri eyes Juventus stay.”
Or as TalkSport put it: “Arsenal favourites to appoint former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique“.
And as The Week puts it: “Zeljko Buvac is favourite to replace Wenger.”
They don’t have the foggiest.
