Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger admits missing the dugout

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's missing the dugout.

The 72-year-old left the Gunners in 2018 after 22 years in charge, and the Frenchman has not managed any professional outfit since at either club or international level.

"I spent 40 seasons in the dugout and if I listen to my guts, I would still do it," Wenger told beIN SPORTS.

"You know, I can contribute in a different way. I'm still missing it. I'm still missing the intensity of it. And so overall, I'm still vulnerable. I'm like a guy who's off drugs.

"I think as well I can contribute in a different way. Now to football and if I can do that worldwide, it's satisfying. More intellectually, maybe when the physically intense, but maybe more efficient as well in the world."
