Nobody can quite believe that Zeljko Buvac looks set to take over from Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager.
Bosnian outlet Pravdabl are exclusively reporting the news this morning, claiming that after working with Jurgen Klopp for 18 years, the 56-year-old will officially take over at the Emirates this summer.

Shock as Buvac looks set to take over a big Premier League Rival
Yesterday, it was announced that Buvac had left Liverpool on gardening leave, which seemed like incredibly odd timing considering we’re on the verge of competing in the Champions League semi-final.
Fans of both Liverpool and Arsenal are mighty surprised, and reacted accordingly on Twitter.
Buvac is renowned for his tactical genius, but has always been notoriously media shy and private.
Could he really be about to take the Arsenal job, one of the most scrutinised in modern football…?
Buvac at Arsenal, Wagner at Huddersfield, what next Krawietz at Leicester? Premier League or Klopp League smh

Buvac doing that Snape book 6 move where he kills Dumbledore (aka Klopp) only to sacrifice himself relegating Arsenal. pic.twitter.com/yNlCtCj6L8

Buvač as a head coach is impossible to imagine. He's never wanted any attention, always totally avoided the media. To go from a decade of that to replacing Wenger at Arsenal? It doesn't make sense.

More media outlets are linking Buvac to Arsenal now. He is said to be ‘charging his batteries’ before being our head coach next season.

If Buvac to Arsenal is a thing with legs then it doesn't bode well for our transfer list maybe.. He's will have the inside track along with reports Arsenal set to spend big this summer.. 😈😈😈

Zeljko Buvac to Arsenal? Yes, please. The guy is a master tactician.

When Zeljko Buvac left, I thought it may have been because of some personal tragedy.
To be fair, yeah. Arsenal.

Buvac going to Arsenal is actually a secret plan devised by Klopp so that the club’s controlled from the inside never end up being any better than Liverpool

Is the gardening leave bit Liverpool’s attempt to delay Buvac going to Arsenal so he can’t get his foot in the door? Right course of action, given the timing

Why people mad if buvac goes arsenal? We all gonna be wishing we had him over klopp?
Still the same LFC who are 90 mins from a CL final.

Love that I had never heard of Zeljko Buvac until yesterday and today he's the biggest genius in football and, somehow, the new Arsenal manager

Hard to blame Buvac for taking the Arsenal job. Awful timing, though, and indicative of the direction the two clubs are going in

Arteta and Buvac team needed at Arsenal. Pep and Klopp ball combining at the carpet.
