Seaman claims former Arsenal boss Wenger ‘would be great as Chelsea manager’ 

David Seaman has claimed former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger ‘would be great as Chelsea manager’.

The 69-year-old remains out of work since his 22-year spell in charge of Arsenal came to an end in May last year.

Sportsmail reported on Tuesday that Maurizio Sarri is facing a virtually impossible task to save his job as Chelsea boss.

And former Arsenal goalkeeper Seaman has suggested his old manager would suit the west London club but conceded that he is unlikely to appear in the Chelsea hotseat.

‘Arsene always said he wouldn’t come back to the Premier League because of his love for Arsenal, that he wouldn’t feel right competing against Arsenal,’ he told talkSPORT.

‘But obviously time’s a healer and he could think, ‘I want to go back there and prove a few people wrong’.

‘For me, Arsene got a lot of criticism that wasn’t deserved over his last few years at Arsenal. 

‘It looks like there could be a vacancy at Chelsea quite soon, depending on their next three games which are three big games for Chelsea.

‘He’d be great there, I think. He’d be great anywhere, he’s a fantastic manager. I would love to see him back, but I don’t think it would happen.’

Earlier this week Wenger was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Laureus World Sports Awards.
