West Brom boss Mel: Wenger would've been sacked in Spain

West Bromwich Albion boss Pepe Mel feels Arsene Wenger is fortunate to be working for Arsenal.

Mel believes Wenger would have been sacked had he experienced a similar trophy drought in La Liga.

"I don't think Arsene would have survived in Spain," he said. "Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid is a good example. Three months ago he was under real pressure and now they are in the Champions League final.

"In Spain, England and Germany it is always the same, the head coach lives for the results.

"But I'm not surprised Arsene is still in a job as I agree with Arsenal. He has a good philosophy."
