Arsenal exit is the same as being present at his own funeral for Wenger

After announcing his retirement Arsene Wenger thanked all the football world for the praise and support and added that Arsenal exit will be as much harmful for him as being present at his own funeral. The manager will put an end to his career at the end of the season after 22 years in the north London hot seat. “I must say that I’m touched by all the praise I’ve got from all of English football and I’m grateful for having that experience in this country - that for me is very special,” said the Arsenal manager. “The football is special, the passion is special and you’ll find that nowhere else. I know that I will not get that anymore in my life. Of course that is absolutely special and the fact that I could see the development of the Premier League in 20 years is sensational. I hope that will last a very long time. “After that I had the feeling a little bit [like this was similar to] my funeral because people speak about you and how you were, so it was little bit interesting on that front! “I don’t need to die anymore because I know what it’s like [to be at my funeral]!
