Arsene Wenger has revealed that he visited the Arsenal dressing room after their victory over West Ham in December.
The Frenchman made his first return to the Emirates since leaving as manager for the triumph over the Hammers.
Speaking about the experience, he told beIN Sport: “I wanted to take my family there and I think it’s the end of the chapter, I was happy to see the players in the dressing room after.
“It was mixed feelings, I sweat to make this stadium for 10 or 12 years every penny. It was a good feeling to see what it is now with the crowd happy the team is doing well.
“Part of your life is over forever so a bit mixed feelings. I felt at the start it was good to take a distance and not sit there straight away and be a weight for the guy who is there.
“It’s all different and I thought it was the right moment. The timing was a fraction late but it was good around Christmas as well so it was nice.”
Wenger, meanwhile, thinks that title rivals Manchester City are vulnerable.
“I agree the conditions next season won’t be as favourable as they are now so lets not miss this opportunity.
“Arsenal has 51 points after 21 games which is remarkable. I feel the usual threats are all out of the race.
“The only threat is City and even City is no not as dominant as they were last year or two years before and I feel since the start of the season City was more vulnerable defensively than before.”
