Arsenal look to Bournemouth and Dortmund for next coach

The Mirror have named Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe and Borussia Dortmund’s Thomas Tuchel as potentially being Arsene Wenger’s replacement at Arsenal.

After being the manager of the Gunners for nearly 20 years, Arsene Wenger is entering the final year of his contract. At 66-years-old he might be thinking about retiring from the role.

43-year-old Thomas Tuchel took over as the manager of Borussia Dortmund last summer, after being at Mainz 05 for five seasons. He was able to finish second in the Bundesliga behind Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.

However it is thought that Eddie Howe is the more likely choice to take over from Arsene Wenger. The loan move of Jack Wilshere is seen as a test of how Howe will be able to manage a big-name star.

The 38-year-old Englishman took over at Bournemouth in Oct. 2012, after a previous stint at the club earlier in his managerial career. He saw the side go from League One up to the Premier League in three years.

Arsenal see themselves eighth on four points after the first three Premier League games of the 2016/17 season. They will face Southampton at home on Sept. 10.
