I think with the announcement out in the open, we have either got the next manager in place or very close to it. If that is the case then let him identify the money he needs and go get the players in. We need: 2 x CBs - Kos & Chambers can go DM - to replace Elneny, Xhaka stays AM to replace Santi GK - Ospina & Cech to go And maybe a Winger This wouldn’t be a massive outlay as we already have bought the expensive positions, strikers and number 10s, so could be an exciting summer.
I'm not sure we've got somebody lined up already, more that announcing Wenger is leaving will clear the air for that process to happen. But I don't think Arsenal will **** around and dither on this. Now that it's happening, I'd expect potential candidates to be being contacted this morning. I see that Ancelotti has thrown his hat into the ring already. I'd take him in a heartbeat. "If they were interested, it would give me pleasure," said Ancelotti, 58. "But at the moment that's it. My future depends on possibilities and projects that are presented to me, not just from me," added the former AC Milan, Real Madrid, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich coach. BBC Sport understands that Ancelotti would be keen on recruiting former Italy international Andrea Pirlo as an assistant.
