Arsene Wenger wants to overhaul the global football calendar with World Cup and Euros competitions played on alternating years in a bid to improve player welfare and boost the game's environmental and social responsibility credentials.

"People want to see matches that matter, competitions that matter," the Frenchman, who is now director of world development at Fifa, said in a wide-ranging interview with Le Parisien, while taking a break from filming a documentary about Arsenals 'Invincibles', in which he also talked about his concern about the risks of heading for players of all ages.
