According to a report from FootMercato (via El Nacional), Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger is set to join Zinedine Zidane at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The report states the Ligue 1 club are set to part ways with manager Mauricio Pochettino and sporting director Leonardo. Zidane will join the club as the manager while Wenger will head sports management at the Parc des Princes.
Wenger joined the Gunners in 1996 and was at the Emirates Stadium until 2018. He won 17 trophies with them, including three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, and went on to become the club's longest serving coach. He was responsible for bringing club icons such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robin van Persie to the club. He also helped convert promising academy superstars such as Cesc Fabregas and Ashley Cole into future superstars of world football.
As per the aforementioned report, Real Madrid tried to sign Wenger on multiple occasions but the Frenchman denied their offer due to his commitment to Arsenal.
Since departing in 2018, he has not joined any other club since leaving the magagerial post at the Gunners. He is currently serving as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development but now looks set to join the Parisians this summer.
According to El Nacional, Zidane and Wenger have also started their work behind the scenes for PSG. Zidane is apparently trying to convince Kylian Mbappe to stay, who looks set to join Real Madrid this summer.
Former Real Madrid striker Predrag Mijatovic confirmed to El Larguero, that the deal to bring Mbappe to the club is done. His contract with the Parisian club expires this summer. Zidane will reportedly try to get him to extend his contract at the Parc des Princes.
With Wenger and Zidane likely to join, the Parisians will hope to undergo a big transformation to get their hands on the elusive Champions League trophy.
