'He has done a fantastic job' - Wenger's Arsenal tenure praised by Eriksson

The former England boss has nothing but respect for what his colleague has achieved over more than two decades in north London

Outgoing Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been hailed by Sven-Goran Eriksson, who paid tribute to the Frenchman's "fantastic job" in north London.

After more than 20 years in charge, the current season will be Wenger's last at the Emirates Stadium.

The manager announced his intention to step down in April after seeing the Gunners once more fail to reach the Champions League and amid calls for change from some sectors of the club's fanbase.
