Arsene Wenger Runs 8-10km Every Single Day

Next time you find yourself struggling for motivation, just remember that former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger goes for a six mile run every single day.

In a fascinating interview with The Guardian last year, Wenger spoke in depth about life after management, a year after deciding to leave Arsenal following a 22 year spell at the club.

"I read a lot, do a lot of different sports, daily, so that occupies me." he said.

"I run 8-10 km a day. I travelled a lot. I did a lot of game observation, charity, many conferences on football, on management, on motivation, on the meaning of life."

"I personally don't know what it means. I am always under stress a little bit but what was good is I don't have to get up or if I have an interesting lunch I don't have to leave because I have a commitment.

"I discovered that freedom of time in front of you. It is a good feeling."

The 70-year-old, who left his beloved Arsenal at the end of the 2017/18 season after struggling for results in the last few years of his time in North London, is still without a job.

It was reported in August that Wenger was hoping to take over from Ronald Koeman as Netherlands manager after he decided to join Barcelona.

According to Fox Sports Netherlands, he was keen to put his name forward for the role.

Speaking to Europe 1 last month about the possibility of going back into management, he said, "Every day I want to train, I've been doing this all my life.

"I'm 70 years old, I gave a lot. Should I play Russian roulette a bit, even when it comes to my health? I can't do things by halves, so I ask myself this question.

"It will be in conditions that I consider optimal. Otherwise, I will not do it."

Wenger has also appeared as a pundit on bEIN Sports in recent months.

In fact, his transition from touchline to TV studios has been smooth sailing. The Frenchman's understanding of the game was on show for the world to see back in February.

We can't wait to see Arsene Wenger in management again.
