Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has rejected the chance to manage Premier League side Fulham.
The Cottagers sacked Slavisa Jokanovic and appointed Claudio Ranieri as their new boss on Wednesday, but reportedly looked at bringing Wenger in first.
According to The Mirror, Fulham sounded Wenger out before the Frenchman made it clear that he would not join a Premier League club out of respect for Arsenal.
Wenger managed Arsenal for 22 years and left the club at the end of last season, with his greatest accomplishment, arguably, being their invincibles season.
Arsenal went an entire Premier League season without defeat, which was also the last time Arsenal won the league.
Wenger has been out of a job since leaving Arsenal and it appears as though it will be abroad if he does decide to go back into management.
