Arsene Wenger has finally broken his silence on the Gunners' form under the leadership of the beleaguered Unai Emery. The Spanish professional football coach is under extreme stress with his position at Arsenal under fire. With many Arsenal supporters asking for Emery's resignation, the former Arsenal boss shares a piece of his mind on the club's current situation.
The former Italian football player and Arsenal manager declined to add fire to the flame in relation to the way Unai Emery handles the Gunners. The Spanish coach is under intense pressure at the Emirates following a poor performance. Of all competitions, the team only won one game in their last six matches.
This leaves Unai Emery wobbling on the edge of getting sacked. Several reports claim that former Manchester United and Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho is one of the top bets to replace the Spanish coach should Arsenal decide to pull the trigger and sack Emery. Speaking on beIN Sports, Arsene Wenger refused to speak anything against Unai Emery.
