GOAL

Arsene Wenger has been approached over the possibility of coaching the Qatar national team, according to France Football.

The former Arsenal manager has been linked with several clubs - chiefly Bayern Munich - since ending a 22-year association with the Gunners at the end of last season, but has previously expressed a desire to coach a national side.

Qatar are hoping for a big-name manager to ensure the country has the best possible chance of doing well when they host the World Cup in 2022, and Wenger would be a major coup ahead of the showpiece event.
