Arsenal win big, manager Wenger receives bad news from Germany.
Arsene Wenger's joy at winning against Stoke City was short-lived, as German media simultaneously reported that Thomas Tuchel had found a new club. Meanwhile, sources in the English press indicated that the German manager would take over Arsenal from next season.
Last night, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory against Stoke City in the 32nd round of the Premier League, extending their winning streak to four matches. At this point, it seems the confidence of the "Gunners" fans in the French manager has returned, as the team has won all four matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding only one.

| Will coach Tuchel take over as Arsenal manager from Wenger starting next season? |
However, at the very moment when he felt most optimistic about the season, manager Wenger was taken aback by new information coming from Germany. Specifically, according to information revealed to the newspaper Bild by Bayern Munich's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, coach Thomas Tuchel has already chosen his next destination. The former German star hinted that Tuchel did not choose to succeed Jupp Heynckes at Bayern Munich, but decided to seek a challenge at another prestigious club.
"Our sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic, has been in talks with coaches, including Tuchel, but he has agreed to manage another team. Last Friday, Salihamidzic informed me that he had contacted Tuchel, but he declined, saying he had found a club to manage next season. I don't know which team it is, only that it's another prestigious European club. Bayern have to accept that, because Tuchel has the right to choose the teams that suit him," Rummenigge shared.
Meanwhile, in a recent sports news report, Sky Sport revealed that coach Tuchel has reached a personal agreement with the Arsenal board and will lead the Emirates Stadium team from next season, replacing Wenger. Previously, numerous sports newspapers in England also reported that Arsenal had decided to end their relationship with "the Professor" at the end of the season, despite the French coach still wanting to stay for a few more years.
