Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has made a decisive call on the role he will play when it comes to the club finding a replacement for the French stalwart.
The former Monaco boss, who celebrated 20 years at the club earlier this month, has stated that he will have no involvement when it comes to appointing his replacement.
Speaking to beIN Sports, the 66-year-old said:
“I think it’s very important in a club that everybody does what they’re paid for,” he said.
“The board’s responsibility will be to choose the next manager, so that’s not my job.”
In his time with the Gunners, Le Prof – as he has become known – has won three Premier League titles, six FA Cups and four Community Shields.
Reports have linked Bournemouth boss, Eddie Howe, with the job when it becomes available, which could be as soon as the end of this season, with Wenger’s current deal coming to an end in 2017.
The Gunners boss’ decision could be based around the turbulent period Premier League rivals Man United have experienced since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, who had a big say in the appointment of David Moyes as his successor.
