Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the attitude of the club’s supporters played a part in his decision to step down at the end of the season.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Wenger says that he believes the fans have portrayed the club in the wrong light.
I believe this club is respected all over the world, much more than in England. Our fans did not give the image of unity I want at the club all over the world, that was hurtful. Because I feel the club is respected and overall the image we gave of our club is not what it is and not what I like.
Many fans have questioned Wenger’s ability to turn the current side around and urged him to quit for some time.
There were calls for Wenger to move on after last season’s FA Cup victory, but the Frenchman opted to remain at the club.
The news was confirmed earlier this week that Wenger would leave the club at the end of the campaign after 22 years in charge of the club.
It is yet to be seen who the club will appoint to replace Wenger this summer with Brendan Rodgers and Luis Enrique both being widely tipped to take over at the Emirates.
