Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he was offered the England job multiple times.

Wenger was asked if he'd been approached to manage England before.

He told the Guardian: “Many times I was approached to coach the English national team. I turned it down for two reasons. Because I felt that, first of all, it's better an English guy does it. And secondly, because I was happy where I was. I was at a club where I loved to do what I did.

“Bayern, Juventus, Barcelona… so many clubs approached me. And today, I'm proud of how I led my life.

“I served this club through the delicate period to pay the stadium back. It was not only about winning the championship, but guiding the club through a very sensitive time and going completely to the end of it.

“And that's what I tried to do. Afterwards people said: 'You stayed too long.' Maybe, but [laughs] it's not the way I felt!"
