Wenger: I honestly believe I'd be good for Arsenal board

Arsene Wenger admits he'd like to have returned to Arsenal to join the board.

Wenger was asked about an office role by great rival Jose Mourinho in a Q&A.

"I would have considered being on the board at Arsenal as an adviser," he said.

"I believe that honestly there is a deficit of knowledge in the big clubs of top, top-level competition and games of top-level sport. And I believe we have seen recently that there are many ways to be successful in football.

"For example, there's the Bayern (Munich) way, where the whole success and continuity relies on people who know the values of the club, and they transfer that from generation to generation: Beckenbauer, Hoeness, Rummenigge.

"Or there are models in England of quick money and quick success.

"Both can work. I like the fact that a club is first an identity and has knowledge that is transferred from generation to generation. So that's why I saw things that way."
