Arsene Wenger insists he still doesn’t know who his successor will be.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have heard all about the rumour that Carlo Ancelotti is set to be the next Arsenal manager. However, Wenger claims that he doesn’t know who will be taking over from him and said that it’s not his job to decide.

“I don’t know who will replace me at Arsenal,” the Frenchman told beIN Sports (via Metro).

“When you are a manager of a club, you have to work like you’re there forever because it demands total commitment.

“And I believe as well that a football club works by everybody doing his own job well.

“My job is to prepare the team for the next game and be responsible for the technical policy of Arsenal Football Club.

“The job of my board is to choose the next manager – I don’t want to do the job of my board.”

Wenger has under two years left on his Arsenal contract after signing a new deal at the end of last season.

Ancelotti meanwhile has parted ways with Bayern Munich after the Bundesliga side lost 3-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

However, it seems odd that a manager like Ancelotti would just hang around for almost two years just in case the Arsenal job opens up.

While the Gunners should probably start planning for Wenger to leave at some point because he’s 67, I doubt the ex-Chelsea boss would just remain jobless for that long.

Whether Wenger actually knows if this is the case or not, obviously we don’t know. The man is a closed book and I highly doubt, even if he has his successor already lined up, he would let that slip at this stage.
