Arsene Wenger rejects dual role coaching both France and Arsenal
Arsene Wenger has turned down the opportunity to manage both Arsenal and France, but would not rule out such a role in the future, according to L'Equipe.
Following Laurent Blanc's resignation after a disappointing Euro 2012 campaign, Wenger is said to have been approached by the president of the French Football Federation, Noel Le Graet, with regards to the position, Goal.com reported.
L'Equipe claims that, although the Gunners coach declined the offer, he has left his options open regarding potentially assuming a dual role at some point in the future.
Current Oman coach Paul Le Guen and Francis Smerecki have been suggested by L'Equipe as other possibilities to take on the role but it is also speculated that Le Graet could take longer to make an appointment.
