Dangote Plans To Sack Wenger From Arsenal
Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote has said he would make an enticing offer to buy one of the top English Premier League (EPL) clubs, Arsenal.
The richest man in Africa also stated that his first move as Arsenal owner would be to fire the club’s long serving head coach, Arsene Wenger, who has been in charge of the club since 1996.
“The first thing I would change is the coach. He has done a good job, but someone else should also try his luck,” Dangote told Tidesports source.
The Gunners had a disappointing 2016/17 campaign which saw them finish fifth in the league and as a result, they failed to qualify for this season’s UEFA Champions League.
However, Arsenal’s majority owner Stan Kroenke decided to offer Frenchman Wenger, who last won the EPL title in 2004, a new two-year deal which he signed in May 2017 despite growing calls for him to leave the club.
