Departing Arsenal boss Wenger targeting France job

Departing Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is targeting the France job.

The Daily Star says Wenger has rejected an approach from PSG.

Instead, he is keen on taking over the France national team after the World Cup.

PSG, whose owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi is a close friend of the Gunners boss, have made regular attempts to lure Wenger to the French capital.

Despite claims former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel had been lined up to replace Unai Emery this summer, it is understood PSG were ready to employ Wenger when it was confirmed he was quitting Arsenal.

After nearly 22 years with the north Londoners, his claims about wanting to take a break from the game appear to be genuine.
