Doubt it will Viera as well. That and who would want to be the next manager to take over the club after him? You want to be the manager AFTER the last manager that replaced Wenger.

EDIT: Also he doesn't say he is retiring.

Mike Ashley better surround Rafa Benitez with a wall of money and allow him more freedom to do what he wants so he doesn't leave.

Benitez to Arsenal is a scary prospect for the other EPL teams.

I don't think Benitez will get that job at all, he doesn't play the brand of football Arsenal want right? It would be like Mourinho getting the Barcelona job, it aint happening? Rafa and Mourinho are known for the similar styles of working hard teams, don't lose, rather than go out and win (in the big games that is).

Going to be fun next few weeks, i think it is weird they announce this now as well right? Unless next week they will announce the new manager?

We should know, by all reasonable aspects, who the next manager will be when Arsenal play their games in the US this summer.

That's what a lot of people said before Mourinho got his current job....

I cannot see Viera getting the job. He has nothing to show for currently.

Think he doing ok in the MLS this season though right, NYCC are undefeated? I get what you mean with him but don't forget it Arsenal, they have always played a certain way like Barca do in Spain, will be interesting.

Oh man Robbie needs to find a new source of income now!

But on a serious note I kinda feel sad for Wenger, hopefully they win the Europa League for him and he leaves on a high.

Wouldn't Ancelotti be a prime candidate? Steady the ship for 1-2 seasons and bring someone else in afterwards.

Grumpy Pundits radio show is saying Wenger was sacked. Not entirely unbelievable as potentialy missing the top 4 has already cost the club a lot of money.
