ARSENAL MANAGER ARSENE Wenger is now Europe’s longest-serving coach after Ronnie McFall resigned as manager of Portadown last night.
69-year-old McFall has been in charge of the Northern Irish club since December 1986 — six weeks after Alex Ferguson took over as Man United manager.
McFall had initially been planning to step down from his role at the club at the end of the season, but decided to leave after his side’s shock Irish Cup loss to Lurgan Celtic and with the club struggling in seventh place in the table.
The Armagh native, who is an MBE, helped the club win over 20 trophies, including four league titles and three Irish Cups.
Wenger, whose future came under renewed speculation following Arsenal’s disappointing loss at home to Swansea during the week, has been in charge of the Gunners since September 1996.
