The Frenchman, who spent 22 years in charge of the Gunners, has been mooted as a potential successor to Sir Chips Keswick in north London
Arsene Wenger has been billed as the ideal candidate to succeed Sir Chips Keswick as chairman of Arsenal, but the Frenchman has no intention of taking on the role.
The Gunners find themselves in the market for a new figurehead after seeing Keswick head into retirement.
He had filled a prominent post in north London for 15 years, so a similar level of experience is now being sought.
“So I would applaud that if Arsenal Football Club were to bring Arsene Wenger onto the board.”
Wenger has welcomed that show of support, but when quizzed on the chances of him taking chairmanship of the Gunners he told beIN Sports: “The candidate says there is no candidate.”
While a disgruntled fan base turned on Wenger towards the end of his reign, many would welcome him back in a directorial capacity.
That is because there are still many fond memories of his time at the helm, with three Premier League titles secured under his tutelage.
They were claimed by star-studded squads, with many all-time greats having passed through Highbury and Emirates Stadium.
