The 48-year-old also stated that the exit of five Arsenal captains caused instability in the team.

“But we lost our four captains: [Laurent] Koscielny, [Petr] Cech, [Aaron] Ramsey and [Nacho] Monreal. They were personalities that we missed this season to stay on the right track,” he said.

“And some players did not have a good attitude and asked for more than what they were giving back.
