Mesut Ozil reportedly told Arsenal boss Unai Emery 'I swear, you're not a coach' after being substituted in his side's Europa League final defeat to Chelsea.
Ozil was livid after being taken off in the 78th minute of the 4-1 loss, with youngster Joe Willock replacing him.
As reported by Fanatik, Ozil expressed his frustration with Emery.
Ozil produced a disappointing display in Azerbaijan as Arsenal were beaten comprehensively by their London rivals.
There has been much speculation regarding the future of the 30-year-old, whose current contract runs until the summer of 2021.
Ozil has frequently been left out of the starting lineup by Emery for high-profile away games, and, given that he earns £350,000 per week, his departure would reduce Arsenal's wage bill considerably.
Although there were occasional moments when he impressed, Ozil endured a difficult campaign overall.
In total he scored just six goals in 35 appearances across all competitions, while he only provided three assists, despite having a reputation for creating chances with regularity.

Wow... wonders shall never end Özil is fast becoming one of the most toxic players in the history of this club. 6 goals and 3 assists? are u kidding me? for £350k per week... He lost the ball the most times in that final, lowest recoveries and created one chance, he offered nothing whatsoever! I think Arsenal should subsidize his wages for another club to buy him, if we pay £175k of his wages, its very easy to get a player on the remaining £175k that would do better than Özil, which is not very difficult to be honest... I mean, Hakim Ziyech is on £60k per week, £3m a year, Özil earns 6 times that figure doing nothing at all! the earlier he departs, the better it is for him and Arsenal!

Ozil is not the problem of Arsenal, rather the coach himself, if you have watched the match very well, Ozil has given good passes to Kolazina(the guy that plays in the left wing) time without number, but he fail to capitalize on it, had it been we have a Winger or Emery brought in Iwobi in time, the results would have been different. Stop blaming Ozil, instead the coach(Emery). Ozil has done his own part. We have so many coaches in EPL that are better than Emery. You can imagine, when we were seriously looking for a player in January transfer to assist us, he went to Fc. Barcelona to bring Suarez, simply because, he plays in Barcelona, and the poor boy has nothing to contribute, after his failure, his now blaming Ozil. After all, when Emery was with PSG that paraded All Stars, then, he defeated Barcelona 4-0, at home and went to Barcelona home to play defensive, and lost 1-6 is that a good coach? Arsenal board were looking for a chip coach that was the reason they went in for Emery. From my own analysis, you will now know whether Ozil were to be blame or Emery.
