David Dein has revealed that Arsene Wenger is already being contacted with job offers following his announcement he will be leaving Arsenal.
The French manager dropped the bombshell news that he would be departing after 22-years at the helm last Friday.
There is some uncertainty over what Wenger will do next, but should he choose to remain in management, he won’t be short of offers.
Dein, the man who brought Wenger to Arsenal and who was vice-chairman of the club up until 2007, has revealed they’ve already started coming in.
"He will have no shortage of offers from clubs," said Dein.
"I had calls from various people on Saturday asking “can I speak to Arsene?”
Dein, who remains very close to Wenger, said he is unsure if his friend will want to continue in day-to-day management.
"The question is whether he will want to do it anymore. It’s getting more and more difficult and it’s become a bit of a pressure cooker.
"Over the last few years, he has been approached by some of the biggest clubs in the world.
"Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, the [England] national team… they all wanted him at some stage.
"He’s going to be 69 in October but he keeps himself extraordinarily fit. He’s the same weight as when I first met him, he’s got a very active mind and such a knowledge of the game."
