Everton boss Ronald Koeman understands Arsenal fans protesting manager Arsene Wenger.

While Wenger, in charge at Arsenal since 1996 and currently on a deal that expires this summer, has not yet announced if he intends to stay on beyond the end of this season, there have been protests from Gunners fans against the Frenchman remaining as manager.

"If City and Liverpool do the job, Arsenal will finish (in a place) for the Europa League, and that is not good enough for them - everybody knows that," he told reporters.

"You know being the manager of clubs like Arsenal is always difficult (in terms of criticism).

"I think the time Wenger has been the manager of Arsenal has been really successful - he did really a good job.

"But you know these teams need to play Champions League. After a long time, maybe the people like to see a new face."
