Wenger a good fit for England - Pires

Former Arsenal midfielder Robert Pires believes Gunners boss Arsene Wenger would be a good fit for the England manager's job, but hopes the Frenchman stays beyond the end of the season.

Wenger, 66, has just celebrated his 20th anniversary at the London club.

"I hope this is not the last season. Arsenal need a longer time with Wenger," said Pires, 42.

"But if he wants to work with the national team it would be a very good combination."

Frenchman Wenger is the longest-serving - and most successful - overseas manager in England, having won 15 trophies, including three Premier League titles and six FA Cups.
