Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that there is nothing stopping him from managing the England national team "one day". He is in the final year of his contract and could be on his way out after the end of the ongoing season amidst reported interest from the England Football Association (FA).
In light of recent events, Sam Allardyce was fired as the England manager after a successful sting operation by the Daily Telegraph. Wenger said that he was flattered at the reported interest for the job.

As reported by Sky Sports, the Frenchman also gave an indication that he would consider any offer from the England FA following the end of Allardyce's 67-day reign. Wenger celebrated his two-decade anniversary at Arsenal by giving out gifts to the media.
He spoke at the press conference and said that his priority is doing well at Arsenal. When asked whether he would consider the England job he said anything can happen in future. He said,"My priority is to do well here. This has always been my club. If I am free one day, why not? But I am concentrated on my job."
The North London club is currently third on the League table and have not lifted the title since 2004. Wenger mentioned that he still wants to improve on previous performances and how his approach has changed over the years. He accepted that his tenure as the Gunners manager might get over in the future as nothing goes on forever.

I rule nothing out because I want to work and do well. I accept as well that it can finish tomorrow. You expect a love story to last forever."
