Arsene Wenger has been confirmed as FIFA’s chief of global football development.
70 year old Wenger spent 22 years in charge of Arsenal until 2018 and had been linked with the vacant managerial position at Bayern Munich in recent weeks, but instead he will take up a new role with the global governing body.
During his time with the Gunners, Wenger was widely considered one of the world’s greatest managers and won three Premier League titles, along with seven FA Cups.
The Frenchman built a strong reputation for his forward thinking style of play and for developing young players, and in his new position Wenger will be tasked with “driving growth” for men and women across the globe.
FIFA says Wenger will also be considered a leading authority on technical matters as a member of the Football and Technical Advisory Panels, taking part in the decision-making processes of potential law changes in the sport.
Much of Wenger’s role, according to FIFA, will involve focus on coaching education and a programme that is set to encourage former players to become managers.
