Arsene Wenger would be a great Chelsea coach, says Arsenal legend

David Seaman believes Arsene Wenger would be a "great" appointment for Chelsea if they sack Maurizio Sarri.

The Blues boss finds himself under a pressure at Stamford Bridge after less than a year in charge following a poor run of results.

The likes of Zinedine Zidane and Frank Lampard are believed to be under consideration to replace him.

But Seaman believes Wenger would be an ideal candidate - although he does admit it is unlikely to happen.

"Arsene always said he wouldn’t come back to the Premier League because of his love for Arsenal, that he wouldn’t feel right competing against Arsenal," he said on talkSPORT.

“But obviously time’s a healer and he could think, ‘I want to go back there and prove a few people wrong’.

“It looks like there could be a vacancy at Chelsea quite soon, depending on their next three games which are three big games for Chelsea.

“He’d be great there, I think. He’d be great anywhere, he’s a fantastic manager.

“I would love to see him back, but I don’t think it would happen.”

Wenger is yet to return to management since leaving Arsenal but has previously insisted he has no plans to retire.

Speaking after winning the Laureus Lifetime Achievement award earlier this week, he admitted he was unsure about what his next step would be.

"My future is unknown. Even for me," he said.

"I enjoy daily life now and I have been travelling a lot recently all over the world."
