Arsenal’s season has collapsed in March and April and this has lead to speculation about whether Wenger will extend his stay at the emirates for a few more years. So in this article i’m going to briefly list the possible candidates to replace him.
4. Frank De Boer:
- Frank de Boer has a vision to bring Ajax back to the top of the food chain in Europe and bring back the glory days for the club. He is very much a forward thinking manager who recognized that Ajax cannot compete with the money of the bigger clubs and made a plan for the future.
- In this context De Boer said,”We know if we want to survive, we have to generate new players”. Domestically the Dutchman has been excellent for Ajax winning the eredivisie title for three consecutive seasons and was voted manager of the season last season. He makes his team train extremely hard and focuses on the individual development of all of his players with a lot of detail. The former Ajax player has a passion for football that not many people have.
- De Boer has rejected offers to join a few of the big teams in the recent past but the fact that Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp is his assistant makes me think that there is still a chance of him joining Arsenal.
- Suitability for the job: 7/10
- Probability: 5/10
The task of replacing Arsene Wenger at Arsenal is a herculean one but I think that these four managers have what it takes to push on from what Wenger has achieved at Arsenal.
