Wenger rules out Madrid move
Arsene Wenger joined Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez in ruling himself out of the running for the vacant managerial post at Real Madrid as he warned that the job is “unstable“.
Wenger was one of the three managers, along with Mourinho and Fabio Capello, whose talents were highlighted by Real president Florentino Perez even before Wanderley Luxemburgo was sacked.
However, he reiterated that he would be staying put at Arsenal, at least until the end of his contract in 2008, as he noted the regular turnover of Real bosses over recent seasons.
“It is an attractive job certainly to everyone who has no job! But, on the other hand, it looks to be not a stable job,” he declared.
“When rotation within a club becomes too quick, that means the problem doesn’t always lie with the manager, but somewhere else.
“I’m under contract until 2008 and I always try to respect my contract. That’s not disrespectful to Real Madrid or anyone else, it’s just my line of conduct.
“I love Real Madrid as a club. They were the club of my childhood when they won the European Cup five times in five years but I’m 100% committed to Arsenal and I want to do the job well for as long as my contract lasts.”
