The former Gunners boss will take up a technical role with football's international governing body but could well land a managerial job in the future
Arsene Wenger is on the verge of returning to football in a new technical role with FIFA.
The former Arsenal boss has been out of work since ending his 21-year stay in north London in May 2018.
But sources have confirmed to Goal that he will soon be confirmed in a new role at FIFA following prolonged talks with football’s international governing body.
Wenger will take up many of the responsibilities that had been held by Zvonimir Boban, who left his position as Deputy Secretary General at FIFA to become the new Chief Football Officer at AC Milan in May.
But Goal has been told that the Frenchman will be given latitude to define his job as it develops, with FIFA also keen to tap into his vast array of coaching experience and knowledge as they continue to try and develop the game around the world.
