These Chelsea and Man United fans put rivalries aside with messages for Arsene Wenger on new job

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is back in football, much to the delight of some fans.

The Frenchman has a new job with Fifa as the governing body's chief of global football development, with the 70-year-old set to be the head of all of Fifa's football development activities throughout the world for the men's and women's game, which includes coaching, training and coach education programmes.

The new role has been confirmed by Fifa, ending recent speculation linking Wenger with German giants Bayern Munich.

The former Arsenal manager had been heavily linked with the Bundesliga side, who recently parted company with Niko Kovac.

But the announcement of his first formal role since leaving Arsenal in the summer of 2018 after 22 years in charge brings to an end the speculation over his future.

And it is a move that has been welcomed by Arsenal fans, who are delighted to see their former manager back involved in football.

Arsenal fans are not the only ones to have congratulated the Frenchman on his role though, with fans of the Gunners' Premier League rivals also taking to social media to send messages to Wenger.

That includes fans from Chelsea and Manchester United, who have been quick to congratulate Wenger on his appointment.

Here's what some fans of other clubs have had to say about his new job.
