Arsene Wenger returns to the dugout, but only for a single game between the stars of al-Hilal and al-Nasr against Paris Saint-Germain.
Former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger (71) returns to the dugout, if only for one game. This was confirmed by Turki al-Sheikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, which has been working on improving the entertainment sector in Saudi Arabia since 2016.
Wenger will therefore look after a team made up of the stars of al-Hilal and al-Nasr, two of the largest clubs in the region, in the game against Paris Saint-Germain on the sidelines at the Riyadh Season Cup in January 2022.
“The great Arsene Wenger was hired to look after the stars of al-Hilal and al-Nasr against Paris Saint-Germain at the Riyadh Season Cup,” said a tweet on Sunday.
Wenger was the coach of Arsenal FC from 1996 to 2018, and since autumn 2019 he has been the director of global football promotion at the world association FIFA.
