Newcastle fans claim credit for Arsenal manager’s exit.
Arsene Wenger’s reign as Arsenal manager is at an end, with the Frenchman announcing his decision to step down at the end of the season.
Wenger’s spell with the Gunners has spanned two decades and he hopes to bow out on a high by winning the Europa League.
His last result was a 2-1 defeat away to Newcastle United, meaning the Gunners have not picked up a single point away from home in 2018.
Newcastle United fans are joking that the win has played a direct role in Wenger’s departure…
The joke may end up being on Newcastle if Arsenal decide Wenger’s replacement should be Rafa Benitez.
Wenger’s Arsenal exit is about far more than losing to Newcastle last weekend, instead it’s his failure to reverse the Gunner’s decline over the past few seasons.
Arsenal are on course to finish in sixth place, their lowest ever finish under Wenger’s management.
