Arsene Wenger Reveals Why He Turned Down England Job

The FA had been hopeful Wenger would replace Roy Hodgson, who was sacked after a shocking exit from the UEFA Euro 2016 Championship at the hands of Iceland.

Wenger revealed that he informed the FA that he had a year left on his Arsenal contract, and he had to honor the contract.

He said about the interest from England: “Yes but you know, I think I have shown I respect my contracts and I rate loyalty highly. I always did that with Arsenal and I have one more year to go so I was not available anyway.”

England went on to sign on Sam Allardyce their manager, and Wenger now faces what might be his last season at the helm in North London.
