FIFA appoints former Arsenal manager to senior role
Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is returning to football activities after he agreed to become FIFA's new chief of global football development.
The move ends speculation linking him, with a return to management as Bayern Munich boss.
Wenger left the Arsenal in May 2018, after 22 years in charge of the London club, winning three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.
"I very much look forward to taking on this extremely important challenge," he said.
Wenger's new role at the world governing body will help to develop men's and women's football, as well as technical aspects of the sport.
He will now be a member of the technical panel of the International Football Association Board, and chairman of FIFA's technical study group.
