The idea is that he wants to try and boost the overall efficiency of FIFA as per released statement and he also wants to try and make a difference. The Arsenal manager accepted the offer two months after it was originally reported. He was also approached by Bayern Munich about the club’s vacant head coach job.

This is going to be interesting to those who have an interest in betting on Arsenal, as he has a fantastic track record with the team.
Wenger also wants to share what he has learnt over the years and he also wants to show his appreciation for the game that he loves so much. The soccer great has stated that the best way that he can do this is if he is at FIFA. He thinks that he is able to grow football and that his knowledge is going to be making a huge difference.
