Arsene Wenger: What I miss from Arsenal days

Arsene Wenger admits there's some things he misses from his days as Arsenal manager.

Wenger stepped down after 22 years in charge of the north London club at the end of last season, making space for Unai Emery to take over.

He told Bein Sport: "I don't feel retired at all but I feel frustrated from competition.

"I am basically a competitor and what I miss - honestly there are many things I don't miss at all, like all of the stuff around the game you have to deal with.

"But of course, the day, the competition, the achievement that you can do together, sharing emotions, sharing competitions, ups and downs with others, of course you miss that because I spent my life in that."
