Harry Redknapp: 'Arsene Wenger has to leave Arsenal'

Former West Ham United, Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp urges Arsene Wenger to step down from his position at Arsenal this summer.

Former West Ham United, Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has urged Arsene Wenger to step down from his position at Arsenal.

The Gunners followed their 3-0 defeat against Manchester City in the EFL Cup final on Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 home loss to the same opponents in the Premier League on Thursday night.

The capital club are now 10 points off the top four in the Premier League, while the Europa League remains their only chance of silverware in the final months of the season.

Wenger's position has again been called into question following a difficult week for Arsenal, and Redknapp believes that it is time for the Frenchman to walk away from the Emirates Stadium.

"I think he has been fantastic; he's had a great career at Arsenal. It's sad; he's been a great manager for Arsenal, won so many trophies," Redknapp told talkSPORT.

"To see him finish like this, I think it's time. He'd get a great last couple of months to the season, the fans would be great towards him and he'd go away with great pride in what he's done with what he's achieved over the years and they can prepare for next year.

"The club needs, and I hate to say it because I hate to see any manager lose his job and he's been a top manager, but the time has come for a change."

Wenger has a contract with Arsenal until the end of next season.
