Arsenal cull Arsene Wenger's backroom staff

The exit door at Emirates Stadium had barely shut behind Arsene Wenger when a number of his backroom staff followed him out the door yesterday, as the club prepare for life beyond the Frenchman.

Wenger took charge of his last game on Sunday as the curtain came down on a 22-year spell at the helm.

It is understood the Gunners hierarchy have also acted to move on some of the coaching staff that worked with Wenger.
