Arsenal boss Wenger unclear whether he can live without 'Russian Roulette' lifestyle

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger isn't sure he can stay out of management for long.

The Frenchman will end his 22-year tenure with Arsenal at the end of this season. Rumblings about a possible to move upstairs at the Emirates or PSG have heightened since the announcement.

And Wenger knows it may be difficult to step away from football after committing his life to the game.

"I had no break for 35 years," Wenger said. "In our job you can look around, that doesn't exist.

"I don't know how addicted I am.

"I'm a bit like a guy who plays Russian roulette every week and suddenly has no gun anymore.

"I will see how much I miss that gun.

"A year off? It's a long time, 365 days. I don't know.

"I will leave myself a little bit open to decide what I want to do with my life."
