Arsene Wenger's future in Arsenal

Although the victory against Hull City last weekend (2-0) has managed to break a worrying streak of two games without a win and has served as a balm, the truth is that Arsene Wenger still carries a significant amount of pressure on his shoulders. Year after year, the coach receives the trust of the Arsenal board, who do not hesitate to recruit those players who please him, but neither the team manages to offer spectacular football nor the results manage to meet the created expectations.

Unlike previous years, this season the criticism has intensified considerably and there are already many media outlets that have warned about the possibility that the London club will dispense with his services at the end of the season and thus put an end to a long-lasting relationship that began back in 1996.

So far, rumors have pointed out German Thomas Tuchel (Borussia Dortmund), English Eddie Howe (Bournemouth), Argentine Diego Pablo Simeone (Atlético de Madrid), Italian Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus), Portuguese Leonardo Jardim (AS Monaco) or even Spaniard Luis Enrique (FC Barcelona) as possible candidates, but the list includes other undoubtedly intriguing options.

In fact, a report from the British press, echoed today by the newspaper As, even bets on Rafa Benítez. The Madrid-born coach is doing a great job with Newcastle, a team he keeps leading in the Championship, a fact that, along with the fact that he would be willing to take the legendary former Arsenal player, Thierry Henry, as his assistant, could somehow facilitate his arrival at the Emirates Stadium.
