“I refused until now to come back because we had some family sickness problems,” he said in an interview as reported by AFP.

“I can envisage everything—I loved being in Japan. I don’t rule anything out.

“I liked it [wet nights in Stoke] personally,” he smiled. “Because I come from an area (northeast France) where we had wet Wednesdays as well—yes, I miss that!

“You miss contact with people, being in the same boat— sharing emotions, sharing winning and losing.

“I’m a guy who can take the pressure quite well, because I did that my whole life, so I miss that.”

“I turned that [the France national job] down a few times,” added Wenger.

“I prefer club football. For me it’s a bit part-time the national team—it’s 10 games per year. I’m used to 60, so I was never really a big fan of it.”

Wenger also recently admitted he is considering taking a massive job with FIFA.
