Arsene Wenger Seperates From His Wife
Arsene Wenger has ended his 25 year old marriage to Annie Brosterhous.
This
report emerged barely three days after an away defeat to Arch-rival, Chelsea
FC. The Manager of Arsenal FC,69, and wife, Annie Brosterhous, 59 have
concluded the process of their separation and are officially divorced.
According
to the UK Mirror, both party have shared their assets and moved on. The union
produced an 18 year old daughter.
However,
there have been speculations to their separation as the UK Mirror reported that
both party have not been seen in public together since 2013,and widely believed
that Wenger’s managerial post at the emirates is the main reason behind their
divorce. Wenger was said to be more interested in his job than his immediate
family.
A
source close to Wenger said: “They have divided up their assets and agreed a
financial package to separate. They decided this was the best course of action
to take.”
The
manager once said in 2008 that he came close to quitting football after making
a promise to his wife.
He
said: “Ten years ago I said to my wife [Annie], ‘Five more years and that’s
all’, and I am still here. It is difficult to find time to see them but there
are jobs [which are worse]. You have guys who leave for work on Monday and come
back on Friday.
“In my job I travel, but the problem is not so much the
quantity of time you spend with your family, it is the quality.
“That is where this job is more damaging. You do not always
give them the quality they deserve when you are at home because you are
thinking of the next game.”
He
once said that his wife supports him whenever the team is playing: “My wife
likes watching football, she watches all the games of Arsenal at home. She is
not a fanatic but she likes watching sports. No, she does not have much
choice.”
When
contacted by the UK Mirror, a spokesman for Arsenal said: “He is an employee
and we do not talk about emloyees’ personal issues.”
