While it is being reported by the reliable David Ornstein that former PSG boss Unai Emery will be announced as the next Gunners manager this week, there is another experienced manager out there that would fit in quite well with the north London outfit. Monaco’s Leonardo Jardim may not be well known all over the world, but he does possess the qualities that chief executive Ivan Gazidis wanted as Arsene Wenger’s successor.
During a press conference last month, Gazidis made it clear that the Arsenal brass wants to appoint an offensive-minded manager. “It is important to me that we continue the football values that Arsene has instilled in the club,” Gazidis said.
