Who wouldn't Löw to be Arsenal manager?

The subject of Arsène Wenger's continued tenure at Arsenal is a hot one and everyone has an opinion. Whether you are Wenger In or Wenger Out you will have an opinion on replacing Wenger because, sooner rather than later, Arsenal's greatest ever manager will leave his position. At 66, it is safe to assume, Wenger will not be here for another cycle.

Many felt the time to replace Wenger was last summer when managers like Klopp, Ancelotti and Guardiola were still on the market and now even staunch advocates of the replace the manager movement are concerned with who will take over should Wenger retire in the next year or so. A few voices have suggested Pellegrini as a short term option but that is a move that seems incredibly unlikely.

Simeone is the hottest manager around who hasn't already been snapped up but given his similarities with Mourinho he too seems an unlikely fit for Arsenal. So, it seems Arsenal, if shopping for managers in the summer, will be looking at younger options like de Boer and Tuchel which in some ways is a risk. Is there another manager we're all overlooking though? Certainly a part of the market is betting on Jogi Löw to be the next Arsenal manager and you could use bestfreebets.ie to get in on the action in what seems like a really good shout.

Leaping from international to club management is rarely done at the top clubs but Antonio Conte is odds on favourite to take the Chelsea job and ex-Croatia manager Slaven Bilic is doing a great job at West Ham after earning his stripes at Lokomotiv and Besiktas.

Joachim Löw managed at Stuttgart, Fenerbahce and Austria Wien before becoming Germany's assistant and then head coach. He has experience of working with players day to day and his relationship with Mesut Özil might convince the German international to stay put as he is rumoured to be considering his options. There is evidence he could get the best out of Alexis, Ramsey and Giroud having successfully managed and utilised players of their type for Germany.

The Arsenal team has looked a little confused this season. Wenger teams have two distinct styles, fast, counter-attacking football or technical, possession based football. His best sides have been one thing or the other and it cannot be argued that he was most successful with the counter-attacking play. Certainly he started his season looking like he had gone full circle and was back to employing the tactics that brought him so many trophies in his first decade. However, this season he has mixed it up. The tiki-taka that we saw for so long during Fabregas' time and the poor imitation after he left, seemed to take over when Walcott and then Alexis became injured and since then we've not found a rhythm of which way to play, often trying to do both in the same match to ill results.

What Löw has successfully done with Germany is combine the two. His training methods have allowed Germany to switch between those styles of play both game to game and mid-game if required. This would suggest that he could pick straight up from Wenger and there would be very little adjustment for the players.

Wenger has often said he wants to leave the club in a great position for the next man but ultimately, any team built in his image will have to be remoulded by the new manager unless that manager is capable of building on those foundations. Löw wouldn't follow the Wenger blueprint to precide detail but their ideas are similar enough for the transition to be smooth yet different enough for Jogi to make the team his own.

Löw could another medal to his collection this summer but whether he does or not it's likely he'll be looking to return to club management soon after. This could be perfect timing for all concerned and if Arsenal are looking for a new manager or even just starting to sound a few out for the season after next Löw should be high on their call sheet - and if he is, I'm sure he'd take that call with relish.
