LONDON — Arsene Wenger is a man in demand as he prepares for life after Arsenal.

Asked if he has received any job offers since announcing he would leave Arsenal at the end of the season, the 68-year-old Frenchman says “yes, more than I expected.”

Wenger didn’t reveal who or where, and says he will not consider any role until after the season ends.

Arsenal plays at Leicester on Wednesday in the next-to-last game of the season.
