France president Emmanuel Macron dubbed Arsene Wenger’s achievements as Arsenal manager “a success story for the French league”.
Macron praised Wenger’s longevity and thinks the 68-year-old is now in a position to use his experience to help the sports community in his home country.
Wenger remains unsure of his future in football, having said thathe wants to give himself “a little distance” from the game before making a decision on a new position.
After winning Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France with Monaco, Wenger led Arsenal to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup triumphs in his 22-year stay in north London.
“He’s a success story for the French league. His success came in his longevity,” Macron told ‘Telefoot’.
“He remained at the very top the entire time. He had very tricky moments. I hope he’ll be able to aid the sports community with his experience.”
