Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger keeps door open to management return

Arsene Wenger insists he hasn't retired from management.

More than three years after leaving Arsenal, the role Wenger spent 22 years in remains his last managerial post.

Now in a FIFA post, Wenger admits: "I smelled the grass every morning, and today I am more in muffled, administrative environments, and in offices. So, obviously, I feel a bit of an intruder in there.

"[But] I want to create the most efficient analysis centre in the world at Fifa. I know it is very ambitious, but you will see that at the World Cup in 2022 we will produce match analyses that will be extremely efficient."

He continued: "I'm in the process of hiring a lot of people at this level right now, and I think there is still a lot of progress to be made in the way we see football."
