Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested that he is being discriminated against because of his age.

The 68-year-old has been in charge of the North London outfit for the past two decades.

In that time, the Frenchman has guided the Gunners to 10 major trophies, including three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.

In the last few seasons, the tide has turned with regards to the fans’ backing of Wenger as manager.

During the 2016-17 campaign, a large number of supporters urged the board to sack him, but the experienced coach ended up signing a two-year contract instead.

Given that the club are likely to finish outside of the top four in the Premier League for the second campaign running as they are 13 points adrift with eight games left to play, discontent remains within the fanbase.

Supporters have made it clear that they want Wenger gone, but in an interview with beIN Sports, he did not suggest that he will step down.

The Frenchman admitted that he must take responsibility for the club’s failures, but feels that there is a hint of age discrimination among some of his critics.

“You focus on doing well for your club and ignore all the rest. The older you get, the more it becomes a little bit age discrimination. I can accept that, if the results are not good enough, we are in the job where we have to take the consequences.

“But, that perpetual thing linked with you, how long you’ve been with the club, how old you are, I find that a bit difficult to take. But all the rest, I accept. I’m in a tough public job where I have to make results, and I’m responsible for the results.”
