5 potential replacements for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal

Steve Bould

Bould is currently Wenger’s right-hand man

Of course, as with anything in football, the solution could be staring us all right in the face. If Arsene does decide enough is enough, come the end of his contract next summer, then a far simpler, more practical replacement could be Steve Bould.

If it is defensive solidarity that we desire, then Bould is the idyllic candidate to tighten things up at the back, hailed as one of the most underrated defenders in the club’s recent history. During his time coaching in the academy, he secured back-to-back league titles in 2009 and 2010, meanwhile securing a cup title in the former year.

While pundits and fans alike have pointed the finger at Arsene Wenger and analysed all of his errors within an inch of their lives, Bould has been at the helm and seen it all, potentially even squirming in his seat in response to some of the Frenchman’s decisions. Now could be his opportunity to make his voice heard.
