Arsene Wenger rejects PSG as he wants the France job

Arsene Wenger has rejected the opportunity to become Paris Saint-Germain boss in the summer, reports the Daily Star.

The 68-year-old is leaving Arsenal after 22 years at the helm of the club, and it is expected that he will not be short of job offers.

PSG have apparently tried to lure Wenger to the club to replace Unai Emery, who is also leaving at the end of the season, after trying to bring him in on numerous occasions previously, but Wenger wants a break from club football after Arsenal.

It is now expected they will try and pursue Thomas Tuchel, someone who has been linked with the Gunners.

People close to Wenger suggest he would take the France job should it become available, and after six years in charge, Didier Deschamps could be coming to the end of his reign at this year’s World Cup unless he wins the tournament.

Being in charge of France would give Wenger more free time and allow him to build up a new youthful side, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Thomas Lemar expectred to lead the side for the next decade.
