Wenger confesses: Arsenal sacked me

Arsene Wenger has revealed the timing of the decision to announce his departure from Arsenal at the end of the season was not his call.
The club announced last Friday that Wenger will step down in the summer after over 21 years at the helm – with the Frenchman also confirming he intends to continue working following his exit.
The timing of the announcement came as a surprise with the Gunners still fighting to finish as high up in the Premier League as they can and with a Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid on the horizon.
The first leg against the LaLiga side takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night, the second time in four days Wenger has taken charge of a home match following the revelation he will leave.
“The timing was not really my decision,” Wenger said when quizzed as to why the announcement came at this point of the season.
“I do my job, keep my routine and focus on what I have to do every day. I prepare well for the game. I think it will be surreal for me when I don’t work. At the moment I work like ever.
“You’re never sure you do the right thing, but life is interesting because you have to deal with different kinds of situations. Until now, I had a life that was full of different experiences.
“Some were very difficult to deal with, but I always did it. That’s another one certainly I will face one day.”
