Arsene Wenger has revealed that he may be close to returning to football in some capacity.

Wenger has been enjoying some well earned time off after departing Arsenal in the summer.

The Frenchman, who is now 68, admits that taking a vacation for so long can be tough for him as he wants to get back to the game.

"I believe that [I'll] start again on January 1," he told Bild.

"I don't know yet [where I'm headed]. I am rested, and I am ready to work again."

"There are associations, national teams; it could be also [in] Japan.

"Thanks to my 22 years at Arsenal, I have big experience on different levels. There are enquiries from all over the world."
