Wenger: I Thought About Leaving Arsenal

Arsene Wenger has revealed he was close to leaving Arsenal last season, before signing an extension with the club.

Arsenal failed to qualify for the Champions League under Wenger, for the first time in his 20-year stay at the club, however, he won the FA Cup.

The Gunners were far from top notch last season, with calls of ‘Wenger Out’ from fans becoming a regular for Arsenal last season.

Nevertheless, Wenger put pen to paper on a new two-year contract , but has admitted it was a tough decision to make.

“Yes, I hesitated over signing an extension for personal reasons,” Wenger told Telefoot on Saturday.

“I’ve been here for 20 years and you wonder all the time if you should go on managing the club, also because last season we struggled a lot.”
