Arsene Wenger reveals that Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola wanted to join Arsenal in 2001 when his playing days with Barcelona came to an end.

Arsene Wenger has revealed that Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola wanted to join Arsenal as a player more than a decade ago.

Guardiola, who will oversee his side's Champions League game at home to Arsenal on Wednesday, contacted the Gunners with a view to playing in London, according to Wenger.

Instead of moving to England, Guardiola joined Brescia in 2001 as he ended an 11-year playing career with Barcelona.

"He wanted to play with me as a coach," Wenger told reporters. "He wanted to play for Arsenal. I met him. He was 30-31 back then.

"I can't really remember, after that he went to Italy and I had players like Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit who were still young and played for the national team as well."

Wenger, who masterminded his side to a 2-0 victory over Guardiola's Bayern a fortnight ago, will go head to head against the Spaniard again at the Allianz Arena on matchday four.
