Arsene Wenger is 'seriously' considering returning to football to work for Paris Saint-Germain amid speculation over sporting director Leonardo's future.

Arsene Wenger is reported to be 'seriously' considering a job with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 72-year-old currently holds the title of FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development after stepping down from his 22-year Arsenal post at the end of the 2017-18 season.

However, Wenger has been persistently linked with a return to football in some capacity and has been tipped to replace Leonardo as PSG's sporting director in the past few weeks.

Now, journalist Abdellah Boulma has claimed that PSG is a "serious option" for the three-time Premier League winner, who could be tempted to return "as general manager or within a management".

PSG are thought to be keen to hire Wenger to work upstairs while Zinedine Zidane takes the hotseat, with current manager Mauricio Pochettino widely expected to leave at the end of the season.

Wenger previously managed Nancy and Monaco during his time in his homeland - winning Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France with the latter.
