#5 Wenger could keep his job after successful run with a new formation
Trending
Arsene Wenger – whose current contract runs out at the end of this season – has seen uncertainty regarding his future as being the major talking point revolving around the club for the last six months. Abysmal performances away from home in the second half of the season have pushed them out of the top 4.
A heavy aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League further questions Wenger’s sustainability at the club. The media and the fans have been making leaps in the dark regarding the future, but it ultimately looks like the 67-year-old will be signing a new two-year deal at the end of the season.
The change in system in reaction to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace has worked – they’ve won all bar one of those games since switching to three at the back. The performance with three at the back on Saturday was excellent – both tactically and mentally – further fuelling speculation that Wenger will continue as Arsenal boss for at least one more season.
The Frenchman has himself blamed uncertainty about his future as being the reason for not finishing in the Champions League spots, but at least success in the FA Cup after a dominant performance with the switch in system gives him some credibility and a final chance to bring Arsenal back as title contenders.
A board meeting in the coming week will soon clear up matters as far as the manager’s position is concerned.
