Wenger wants Italian job Monday 11 July, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal Coach Arsene Wenger has revealed that he would one day want to manage in Serie A.
"I would eventually like to try coaching in Italy, perhaps even with Juventus," said the tactician.
"I have spoken to (Thierry) Henry and more recently (Arturo) Lupoli about it. I love playing attractive football and I am sure I have the right temperament to do well there."
His comments came after the Frenchman, at the helm at Highbury since 1996, became the first official from either Arsenal or Juventus to confirm that the sides are talking about the possible transfer of Patrick Vieira to Turin.
"Yes, Juventus have enquired about him, but I firmly believe that Patrick will still be an Arsenal player next season," he said.
"He has adapted well to life here, and we (Arsenal) do not sell our important players."
However, rumours emanating from London suggest that officials from both clubs are set to meet again on Tuesday to thrash out transfer details.
The sticking point is said to be Arsenal’s valuation of Vieira. They have allegedly refused Juve’s initial bid of £9m cash, plus midfielder Stephen Appiah.
Well! Well! Well!
