Former Arsenal and Nagoya Grampus Eight manager Arsene Wenger is considering the managerial role at Vissel Kobe, according to multiple media outlets.

It was reported that the Frenchman is “contemplating an offer to return to management in Japan.” Vissel Kobe tabled an offer on 25 May, which is said to be a two-and-a-half-years contract with an annual salary of 4 million euros.

Wenger used to play for Strasbourg in the French first division. After retirement, he moved into management at Nancy and Monaco before moving to Japan in 1995. In his two years with Nagoya Grampus Eight, he guided the club to their first ever Emperor’s Cup.
