Wenger’s departure at the end of the season triggered sadness among Arsenal’s fans world-wide, as he had gone on too long and not been able to deliver another title or finally win the Champions League that he craved so badly.
Diego Costa killed Arsene Wenger’s last hope of a glorious Arsenal farewell as his goal sent Atletico Madrid through to the Europa League final 2-1 on aggregate on Thursday.
The 68-year-old Arsene Wenger admitted that he was “very, very sad” to be leaving Arsenal on the back of a Europa League semi-final defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid.
As fans took to twitter their disappointment, President Kagame among others gave his take on the departure of the coach who had been Arsenal’s coach for 22 good years.
“My take on my beloved Club Arsenal- a very good one at the game and a very good coach like A.Wenger, this should not have been the kind of ending of an era. The coach is leaving and club trophy-less it was long coming! I am still a committed fan going forward. Blame the owners”, reads President Kagame’s tweet.
“As I had said way back and just as a good observer…Something fundamental needed to change at/about the club. But if anything changed it was not the right one. All the best to all involved! We still need Arsenal to go back where it belongs- up there among the best in the game!” He added.
In 2007, when President Kagame who is a devoted Arsenal fan since 1996 was celebrating his 50th anniversary, Coach Arsene Wenger gave him Arsenal Emirates’ Flag with signatures of all players at the time.
Also in 2013, President Kagame was spotted in Arsenal’s stadium, where the team scored 2-0 against Napoli in UEFA Champions league.
