Ex-Arsenal Manager Arsène Wenger Is Moving to FIFA

Wenger, who turns 70 next month, is expected to join world soccer’s governing body in a technical role.

Out of front-line soccer since ending a two-decade coaching career at Arsenal that many credit with revolutionizing English soccer, Arsène Wenger has agreed to join FIFA to spread his gospel to a wider audience.

Wenger, a 69-year-old Frenchman, has agreed to become FIFA’s technical head, though his official title with the organization has not been finalized.
