It has been reported Arsene Wenger turned down the chance to coach France
and decided to stay in London to try to win the Champions league.

In an interview he said

"Yes - the president of the FFF came out and said he was offering me the job,
but I refused.

"I was in touch with him when I was in Japan, after what happened (with
France).

"However, I never considered taking the job."
