Ex-Arsenal defender, Ray Parlour has revealed the coach that should replace manager, Arsene Wenger at the Emirate.
Recall that Wenger announced in a statement on Friday morning that he would be leaving the Gunners at the end of the current season after 22 years with the club, ending a long tenure that got him three Premier League titles.

Parlour believes Newcastle United manager, Rafa Benitez would be a ‘great fit’ to replace Wenger at Arsenal.

“What he has done for Newcastle this season is amazing,” Parlour told talkSPORT.

“With not a lot of investment he’s got them playing so well. They are out of trouble when it looked like they would be in a relegation battle, and now they are sitting really healthy in the league.

“He would be a great fit, but whether Arsenal want to go down that road.

“There are younger managers as well, and they may say let’s give one of them an opportunity, or go for one of the more experienced ones; Luis Enrique is favourite, but I know Chelsea might be looking at him as well,” he added.
