Battle for world football! Arsène Wenger ready to challenge Gianni Infantino
Former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger will announce his final decision this week on whether to run for president of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association.
Details: According to respected sports journalist Dan Sheldon, influential figures in European football and UEFA executives are putting enormous pressure on the 77-year-old Frenchman, urging him to stand against FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The deadline for officially submitting applications for the presidential election is November 18, so Wenger’s decision will shape the balance of power among the world football elite.
Since November 2019, the French maestro has held the key role of Chief of Global Football Development at FIFA and commands the utmost respect from national associations and players around the world. Experts believe Wenger’s impeccable reputation and deep understanding of the game make him the most formidable challenger Infantino has faced during his tenure.
It is worth noting that Arsène Wenger managed Arsenal for 22 years, winning three English Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, and going down in history as the architect of the legendary “Invincibles” team.
