Arsene Wenger "really hurt" by way Arsenal handled his exit as treatment slammed

Arsene Wenger was left feeling "really hurt" by Arsenal in the wake of his Emirates exit, according to the Gunners' former vice-chairman David Dein.

The Frenchman walked away from his post after 22 years at Arsenal back in 2018 amid increasing discontent from the fanbase, some of whom have since been accused of hounding him out of his job. At the end of his reign, Wenger's Arsenal honours list included three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.

Planes flying over stadiums with messages calling for his sacking marked a steep demise from the days Wenger was guiding the Gunners to league titles while going the entire campaign unbeaten. Nowadays, he is FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development - but Dein feels Arsenal are missing a trick by not hiring their former boss in a new role.
