“Even though I worked only six months with him, it was sad to say farewell to him, Armenian national team captain and Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan told reporters when asked about the feelings about Arsenal former manager Arsene Wenger’s leaving the club.
“I can say I had great impressions about him both as a coach and a person. I can only say welcome to the new coach. I had no chance to talk to him and hope he will bring Arsenal to new heights,” Mkhitaryan said:
To remind, Arsenal confirmed on Wednesday the appointment of Unai Emery as their new manager. The former Paris Saint-Germain manager is understood to have signed a three-year contract at the Emirates.
Mkhitaryan is holding a training camp at the Football Academy of Armenia ahead of the international friendly with Malta on May 29.
