Wenger: Long goodbye not entirely enjoyable
Arsene Wenger

ARSENE WENGER said today that the long farewell to his reign as Arsenal manager has not been a completely enjoyable experience.

The Frenchman will take charge of his final Arsenal game when his side travel to face Huddersfield on Sunday, bringing down the curtain on almost 22 years at the helm.

The club announced he would be leaving back on April 20 with the Gunners still in the Europa League semi-finals and with five Premier League games remaining.
