Former Arsenal boss, Arsene
Wenger, looks set to make his return to football after accepting a job with
FIFA, according to ESPN.
Wenger has not been directly
involved with the professional game since he left the Emirate Stadium last year.
The Frenchman has recently hinted
that he would welcome a return, provided the right offer came along.
The newspaper reports Wenger has
now accepted a role with the world governing body as a technical director.
The 69-year-old will take on the
post at FIFA while he waits a suitable offer.
The requirements of his new
position are yet to be defined but FIFA are hoping to utilise Wenger’s vast
experience and knowledge.
Wenger, who spent over two
decades at Arsenal has been working as a TV pundit since leaving the Gunners.
