After some speculations in the media reported a likely separation with his wife, Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has finally sealed a partial divorce with her, so we are made to believe.
The Arsenal boss and her long term partner have legally agreed to part ways and as part of the deal, the assets will be divided. A judge in Paris issued the 'go ahead' and as we speak, the two are free to hang around with the opposite sex without any fear. They are no longer obliged to live together as an entity.
A source said Wenger, 65, and Annie, who married in December 2010 after a long term relationship, had “not been happy for a while”.
“They have divided up their assets and agreed a financial package to separate.
What's up with the divorce? According to some sources, his managerial job and the pressure that goes with it has not given Wenger the opportunity to dedicate time into the relationship and as a result, his wife who he got married to in 2010 did not find that ideal.
Wenger and Annie had been together for so many years but did not marry until five years ago and the couple who have an 18-year-old daughter have not been seen together for the past two years.
In an interview he gave in 2008 Wenger revealed that he promised his wife he will quit football at a particular point but unfortunately, he has not fulfilled that
He said: "Ten years ago I said to my wife [Annie], ‘Five more years and that’s all’, and I am still here.
“It is difficult to find time to see them but there are jobs [which are worse]. You have guys who leave for work on Monday and come back on Friday.
“In my job I travel, but the problem is not so much the quantity of time you spend with your family, it is the quality.
“That is where this job is more damaging. You do not always give them the quality they deserve when you are at home because you are thinking of the next game.”
He added: “My wife likes watching football, she watches all the games of Arsenal at home. She is not a fanatic but she likes watching sports. No, she does not have much choice.”
Attempts to get information from Arsenal concerning the situation failed as a spokesperson for the club said that they do not discuss the private life of their employees with the public.
