The former Gunner thinks Denis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry should manage the club when Wenger departs.

Former Arsenal star Anders Limpar has told the London Evening Standard that he thinks Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry should replace Arsene Wenger in future.
Wenger’s future was questioned once again last season, with some fans going as far as to openly protest about his tenure.
He was not sacked but with this year being the last of his current contract and no new contract being discussed at present, talk of who may replace him at the Emirates is rife once again.

And as far as Limpar is concerned, they should look to two of the club’s former stars to take up the reins.
“If he [Wenger] goes, when he goes, whether that’s a year or five years, we should probably take an old player,” he told the London Evening Standard.
“Why not Dennis [Bergkamp]? He’d be great. Take him and Thierry Henry as an assistant. They know the system, they know the club.”

A management team of Henry and Bergkamp would certainly be one that the Arsenal fans would welcome.
Not only would they be happy to see two men who know the club inside out in charge, but the duo would also likely bring the kind of football that they fan base wants to see.
Whether they would ever be offered the position is debatable, though, with the Arsenal more likely to seek out a more established candidate to replace their long-serving boss.
