Wenger Urges Arsenal Fans To Back Arteta, As Rebuilding Continues

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has urged fans to keep showing their support to the club as they continue to rebuild under Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners have not qualified for the Champions League since the 2015-16 season and during the past two campaigns have finished eighth in the Premier League.

Wenger had a tumultuous relationship with Arsenal fans towards the end of his largely successful near 22-year tenure which ended in 2018, and current incumbent Arteta, who took the reins in December 2019 following Unai Emery’s exit has also faced criticism from sections of supporters.

Arteta’s side sits fifth in the table and are unbeaten in 10 games across all competitions, however, and Wenger has called on fans to stay behind the Spaniard and his team through thick and thin.

Speaking at the world premiere of ‘Arsene Wenger: Invincible’, the 72-year-old FIFA chief said, “My advice is just to the fans to continue to support the club, to Arteta, to continue to try and gain the momentum to keep this going.

“They have invested a lot of money and hopefully some potential in the team and I hope they continue to keep that momentum in the team.”

Wenger won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, including doubles in 1998 and 2002, and was in charge of a record 823 matches during his reign. He now serves as Chief of Global Football Development at FIFA.
