Arsene Wenger splits from wife following months of speculation

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has split from his wife after months of speculation about the state of his marriage…

The Gunners chief and long term lover Annie, 59, are said to have agreed a financial package and divided up their assets.

The couple, who have an 18-year-old daughter have not been pictured together since 2013.

He has previously admitted that his high pressured job with the London club had put pressure on his relationship.

It is understood court papers filed in Wenger’s hometown of Strasbourg, France, show they have not been together since June of this year.

The document – known as a “séparé du corps” in French – is not a full divorce but is a legal separation which means that the couple are not legally obliged to live together.

A source said Wenger, 65, and Annie, who married in December 2010 after a long term relationship, had “not been happy for a while”.

“They have divided up their assets and agreed a financial package to separate. They decided this was the best course of action to take.”
