Legendary former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has given another huge hint that he is ready to return to football management.
The Frenchman won three Premier League titles — including in 2003-04 when his ‘Invincibles’ went unbeaten for an entire season — and seven FA Cups during his time as Gunners’ boss.
He also took the club into the Champions League for 20 years in a row, but struggled during his latter years at the Emirates helm and ultimately left the club at the end of last season.
Since departing the club, Wenger has seemingly kept a low profile - though he has been a pundit for beIN Sports on a number of occasions this season.

He has, however, made no secret of his desire to return to the dugout - and has now revealed that his next venture may well be as an international manager before the 2022 World Cup.
According to L’Equipe , Wenger made the revelation at a night in his honour at the Olympia Hall in Paris on Monday night.
Asked whether his next move could be to a national team, he said: “Maybe, but if it is to happen, it will have to be before the World Cup.”
On the same night Wenger was speaking, his former side secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle to move above rivals Tottenham in the Premier League table.

Goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette gave Arsenal a 2-0 win and lifted them to third place in the Premier League above rivals Spurs and Manchester United .
Ramsey found his way through a packed defence on the half hour to score with a low shot before Frenchman Lacazette put the game to bed in the 83rd minute with a chip over the keeper.
The result put Arsenal on 63 points with seven games left, two above Spurs and Manchester United, with Chelsea a further point behind, as Unai Emery’s side boosted their hopes of a top-four finish and Champions League football next season.
