Arsenal icon Arsene Wenger to manage again as Soccer Aid moves to London Stadium

Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger will be back in the managerial dug-outs for Soccer Aid for UNICEF at the London Stadium this summer.

Wenger managed the Gunners between 1996 and 2018, clinching three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup trophies before Unai Emery replaced him at the Emirates Stadium. Since then, the Frenchman has been FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development, where he has fronted controversial proposals of a biennial World Cup.

Now, it has been announced that he will manage Soccer Aid World XI FC in June, captained by Usain Bolt, 10 years on from his heroic 2012 gold medal triumphs in the very same stadium. Bolt and Wenger will be joined by the likes of Tottenham Hotspur hero Robbie Keane and former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, as well as a host of other celebrities.
