On Monday, Roy Hodgson announced that he would be stepping down as head coach of the England national side. A disappointing run at the Euros saw the Three Lions being eliminated at the hands of minnows Iceland.
Now with Hodgson gone, the English FA will begin proceedings to find an able replacement. Gareth Southgate, Glenn Hoddle, Alan Pardew and Eddie Howe are few managers tipped to be in line for the job. However, fans on Twitter are calling out to the FA to make Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger the heir to Hodgson.
Here are a few tweets:
I’d give the #eng job to Arsene Wenger, at least finishing 4th would be considered an improvement!

English managers are either not good enough or experienced enough to take the #ENG job. Would be Benitez or Wenger for me. #Engexit

England need a world class manager with great quality and experience… it will be a wrench but we should let Arsene Wenger do the job.

England to get Wenger. Yeah, let’s take the biggest serial under-achiever in the Premier League. Good one that ?

Arsene Wenger as England manager? Because his legacy as a great manager isn’t quite dead enough yet….

Wenger would do more for England in two years in part time role than every manager since 66.

I wouldn’t object to having Wenger overlooking the England setup. Experienced ✅ Good with young players ✅ Knowledge of English System ✅

#Wenger has a history of taking youngsters & building into a strong team without spending money. Perhaps the @Fa could consider? #England

The answer to the England Manager debate is easy. Arsene Wenger gone stale at Arsenal would relish the challenge

The next #englandmanager should be Wenger with Howe & Arteta as his assistants imo #ENG
