Those are the thoughts of Glenn Hoddle.
Arsene Wenger came under more pressure on Tuesday night after Arsenal’s 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in the last-16 of the Champions League.
Gunners fans protested before and after the game calling for Wenger to leave.
A cluster of managers have been tipped to take over the reins, including Juventus boss Max Allegri and Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli.
And Hoddle thinks Sampaoli would be the perfect choice, especially if Arsenal want to retain Sanchez’s sevices.
