Arsene Wenger open to England offer when Arsenal contract ends

Football: Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has refused to rule out the possibility of managing England in the near future when his contracts with the Emirate stadium expires.

The French man has one more year left on his contract at the Emirate as he approach the end of his second decade as Arsenal manager.

 "I'm under contract until 2017," Wenger told Bein Sports. "What I'll do afterwards, I don't know.

"But for the moment, I've always respected all of my contracts until the very end. I'll continue to do the same.

"I saw how Roy Hodgson looked after the elimination against Iceland... so for the moment I'm very happy where I am."

Asked if he would be interested in the job one day, he added:

"It's a good challenge at the moment for any manager since the team have just had two disappointments.

"I'm not talking about myself here. I think it's an interesting challenge because it's a young team that has quality players all the same and they're coming off two disappointments at the World Cup in Brazil and the European Championships here.

"So when things improve, the new manager can only do better."
