Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he may've stayed in the job too long.

Wenger left the Gunners in 2018 after a 22-year spell in charge which returned three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, a Champions League final appearance and a new stadium.

"Maybe I stayed too long," he told The Times. "I don't know. But I was committed like on the first day.

"I think I guided the club through the most difficult period in a very successful way.

"At some stage people say you're too old, but they don't really look at what you do. I served the club as much as I could.

"The supporters were not happy any more. Some of them. You can understand that, at some stage, 22 years, people want a change."

Wenger admits he wasn't offered an board role at the club.

He said: "I don't know (why he was not offered a place on the board). I always said I would still play a part in the club, but I could understand that at the start it's better that we take a complete distance.

"It was difficult at the start, of course, after leading my club as long as I did, but I thought it's better to follow from a distance."
