KANU NWANKWO URGES ARSENAL CHIEFS TO APPOINT EXPERIENCE MANAGER

Former Nigerian striker, Kanu Nwankwo has urged Arsenal football club’s chiefs to contract an experienced manager capable of handling players.

Arsenal legend, Kanu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos that Arsenal’s recent poor performances can be improved.

“The recent poor performances of Arsenal FC can improve with experienced management.

“I know every fan is disappointed with the games the club have been playing of recent. This is not the same Arsenal people used to know. But, all the same, we can still turn it around.

“We have a new interim coach, Freddie Ljungberg, but things are not really going on well for him. When you have players, they should always tell themselves the truth.

“The players alone cannot be blamed, but the entire management also. But it is clear that Arsenal are not where they are supposed to be, they have to change a lot of things and ensure that they return to the basics,” he said.

Kanu attributed the poor run of results to players, management, fans and strongly believes everyone involved with the club should be blamed for the slide, advising that they should also all endeavour to improve themselves.

“We need a strong hand to bring back the glory days of Arsenal,’’ he said.

Former Super Eagles striker and Olympic Gold Medal winner said, he is convinced a coach with a strong will and experience will turn around the team’s performance and improve on results to bring back the glory days of Arsenal football club.
