Arsenal boss Wenger concerned over growing sack culture

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is concerned over the growing sack culture in the Premier League.

Wenger urged clubs to show greater patience to ensure talented younger managers are not deterred from entering the game.

"It's the first time since I have been in England that it is that [ten managers sacked in a season], and the trend is that rotation will become quicker and quicker. If you get to a point where you sack your manager with every defeat, the guy who comes in will lose games as well.

"So that trend will become quicker and quicker. Why are we living in a society now where it is every time quick, the quick intelligence is dominating the slow intelligence. That means every time after the game it is quick sanction, quick judgment, and there is no distance anymore with the event.

"The solution is that the clubs internally will need to be much stronger than before, to resist that immediate pressure. The strengths, the belief, the vision inside the clubs, will be tested much more than before. And the strengths needed inside the clubs will need to be much better."
