[Va-Va-Voom]

Allegri, Jardim, Arteta, Nagelsmann or PV4 please.

You don't want Simeone?

I'm more worried about people wanting Arteta lol

Allegri, Jardim, Arteta, Nagelsmann or PV4 please.

You don't want Simeone?

I do but those are my realistic choices.

Simeone won't happen in a million years.

[Fenice]

I wanted Klopp

Same. Thought he was the perfect fit.

[SuperJackyWilshere]

Looool this fool is begging it.

f**k off you prick.

[generalanal]

ancelotti can f**k off look how this guy chews on his bubble gum it's even more disgusting than ferguson

[mel4]

Please no TOP coach above 50 years should come to our club. Tired of one track minded coaches.

[indy23]

Uh oh ancelotti ha hahahaha

[Highbury Hillbilly]

It is not going to be Tuchel, his deal with PSG is as good as done. The board were probably lining him up, but they didn't move fast enough and he's gone.

Wenger's announcement was timed to make sure season ticket sales don't drop further, but also to let managers know the job is available. Any closer to the end of the season and managers would be too busy monitoring the WC and setting up their transfer strategy.

I want ABR - Anyone But Rodgers.

Vieira is too inexperienced.

Henry would be worse.

Luis Enrique would be my choice, experienced successful and available.

[indy23]

Emery over Rodgers for me

[Ach]

Ancelotti has basically said he'd take it.

Wtf are we waiting for?

This is no time for ineptness. Bring him home.

[realtalk]

Be interesting to see which Arsenal players careers are in jeopardy now

cech ,xhaka,mustafi.Jack,santi. maybe bellerin there will be a rb coming in for sure. Everyone else is cool really.

[indy23]

Hector mustafi and xhaka maybe saved from a more structured manager. Someone who doesn't leave our defenders out to dry and someone who will hold hector somewhat accountable for stupid plays. Let Arsene ride off into the sunset. Hope nothing but the best for him and this next period will show us if the Board need replacing as well.

Trust in our new scout n director of football to bring in some talent.

New faces behind the scenes, a five-man shortlist and the dilemma of whether to go for experience or potential.

This is the backdrop as Arsenal seek a new manager for the first time in nearly 22 years after Arsene Wenger's announcement he will step down at the end of the season.

But where does the news leave the north London club? And what might happen next? BBC Sport's David Ornstein explains...

Big-name boss? Or promising coach?

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis says Arsenal had not begun sounding out replacements before Friday and I suspect Wenger will not have a say.
Leading the process will be Gazidis, alongside head of football relations Raul Sanllehi and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.

Arsenal have been linked to the former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel, who has admirers at the club. But any move might have been complicated by the fact he fell out with Mislintat when they were together in Germany.

That will likely be irrelevant, though, as it is my understanding he is going to take charge of Paris St-Germain.

Big-name options such as Max Allegri, from Juventus, and former AC Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti have been mentioned but a younger coach - one who is more willing to slot into the club's revamped structure - might be more appealing.

That is why former captain Mikel Arteta - an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and said to be admired by Gazidis - and another former skipper Patrick Vieira - who is at New York City - have been linked, although both lack elite-level management experience. Likewise, club record goalscorer Thierry Henry, who is currently Belgium assistant coach.

The backgrounds of Sanllehi and Mislintat have seen suggestions that Luis Enrique - who Sanllehi worked with at Barcelona - and Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann - who Mislintat knows from Germany - could also be candidates.

But Arsenal will not seek simply to make a quick appointment.

Tuchel is out of the running then although the article saying he doesn't get along with Sven dude might be a complication made me laugh. Get rid of Sven. There, sorted

It can not be Arteta. Vieira, not yet. Henry lol. No idea who Nagelmann is.

Allegri, Ancelotti or Luis Enrique. Any of those would be welcome
