Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger calls premier league a "world championship of managers not top players"

Asenal coach Arsene Wenger feels the premier league has become an attraction for top managers in the world but not the top players who prefer to move to other leagues. 

Even world class players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben or Robert Lewandowski are not playing in the premier league. 

This season alone, the likes of Antonio Conte, Pep Guardiola and the returning Jose Mourinho have all joined the league making it a "world championship of managers" without top players to commensurate their arrival. 

Talking to Arsenal official Website.Com: "Everybody's ambitious -- never has the Premier League been gifted with so many ambitious people or clubs at the start of the season," 

"We haveJose Mourinho at Manchester United, Conte at Chelsea, Guardiola at Man City, Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, so it's a little bit a world championship of managers as well."

"Everybody will of course be highly focused on doing well and it will be interesting. One thing you know from the start: not everybody can win the championship and next year, more than ever, it will be tougher for everybody."

Leicester City might have won the premier league title last season with little fuss but this season will be tougher cause everybody will be gunning for the title. 

"But sometimes the media give too much importance to the managers and I believe that what is important is the quality of the players on the pitch. All English teams compete highly to be competitive and have a top squad."

Arsene Wenger will be hoping to win the premier league title yet again after going 12-years without it.
