Wenger finally admits his regret at not LEAVING Arsenal before 2018

Arsene Wenger has finally admitted his regret at not leaving Arsenal sooner than 2018.

The Frenchman is the subject of a new documentary titled Arsene Wenger: Invincible which focuses on his 22-year stint with the north London club.

During his reign he became the most successful head coach in the club's history, landing three Premier League titles - including the memorable 2003-04 Invincibles campaign - and seven FA Cup triumphs.

However, his last few years at the club turned sour, with fans ultimately turning on him for what they perceived to be underachievement - despite consecutive seasons of Champions League qualification.

Wenger has previously described his final few months at the club as 'like a funeral', while other club legends, such as Dennis Bergkamp, have suggested he should have taken the leap to leave the Emirates sooner than 2018.

Now, for the first time, the 72-year-old has admitted that he was wrong to stay in situe at the club for as long as he did.

'I identified myself completely with the club - that was the mistake I made,' said Wenger - as per the Telegraph. 'My fatal flaw is I love too much where I am ... where I was. I regret it. I should have gone somewhere else.'
