Arsene Wenger Would Refuse to Vote If He Had a Say in the Ballon d'Or

Sean FayJan 16, 2015

It is fair to say that Arsene Wenger is not a fan of the Ballon d'Or.

The award for the world's best player has been the big talking point in world football this week, with Cristiano Ronaldo having picked up his second consecutive golden ball on Monday. 

Managers throughout the world have been asked for their thoughts on Ronaldo's win but Wenger gave an interesting answer about the honour during his press conference on Friday, as The Sun revealed on their football Twitter account.

Arsene Wenger: "I am totally against the Ballon d'Or, I am a team-lover. I would not vote for anyone, I am completely against it."

As a club manager, Wenger does not have a say on who wins the award but if he ever became an international coach, he would have a vote. 

We would love to see if he went through with his threat. 

The only coach of a UEFA member association who did not cast a vote for this year's award was Northern Ireland's Michael O'Neill and that was only because the IFA did not get the documentation in on time.
