To say Arsenal are struggling under Arsene Wenger is a bit of an understatement, but if the club do decide to change manager, who could come in to replace him?
Before Arsenal can move on from Wenger, they need to have an idea of who is coming in.
They don’t want to end up following Manchester United in hiring the next David Moyes or Louis van Gaal.
Let’s take a look at some options available to them at the moment:
2. Carlo Ancelotti
For many, Ancelotti is the safe choice for Arsenal.
The 58-year-old has a massive amount of experience, having managed Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The Italian manager has also been very successful in picking up trophies. He lifted at least one with all of the above clubs, including the Champions League on three different occasions. He also won the league with four of his last five clubs, only failing to do so with Madrid.
Since joining Chelsea in 2009, his win ratio with each club has never been less than 60%. Wenger’s current ratio with Arsenal is 57%.
The Gunners have already lost more games this season than Ancelotti lost in his entire spell with Bayern Munich. Although, in fairness, that isn’t saying much.
Like Enrique, Ancelotti is on a leave of absence from management, after leaving Bayern Munich in September.
He should be available this summer, if the board want to make a change.
