Arsene Wenger has turned his attention to life after Arsenal by hinting that he is willing to take a role at Paris St Germain in the future - though not in a coaching capacity.

The long-standing Gunners chief, who took the reins at Arsenal in 1996, signed a new contract at the club this season that commits him until 2014.

Now the 60-year-old looks set to extend his footballing involvement beyond that date, possibly in the French capital.

"It's not impossible," Wenger told Republican Lorrain. "But it wouldn't be in a coaching role. PSG is the only club in the world which is based in an area of 10million inhabitants and doesn't have any competition [from a rival club].

"What needs to be done is to get a group of investors around the table to provide the club with some financial muscle."
