Wenger: The one thing I could never get right at Arsenal...

Arsene Wenger admits there was one thing he couldn't handle as Arsenal manager.

Arsenal gifted their manager with a trademark touchline coat each season, which went down just below the knees.

It was designed to keep Wenger warm, only if the Frenchman could have done up the zip.

There are countless videos online where Wenger can be seen struggling to fasten his coat on the touchline.

The 69-year-old has now acknowledged the difficulty he used to have in an interview with beIN Sports.

“Yes, in fact I improved in that," Wenger said when confronted with the topic.

“I was conscious of that!

“They are too long and sometimes the zip didn't work. I struggled a lot with that.

“But, in the end, because people were showing it I was conscious that I was under scrutiny when doing it!"
