Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger: Why I've turned down offers

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's missing management.

Wenger says he's had opportunities to return to coaching in the past year.

"So far I have refused to return because there were health problems in the family. Offers always came when I really could not or wanted to.

"For the future, I exclude nothing," said Wenger to AFP.

"For example, I loved working in Japan.

"I miss the contact with people. To sit in the same boat, to share feelings, victory or defeat. I feel comfortable with pressure, I have had it all my life. So I miss it."
