It is widely believed that the 67-year-old would join the club’s board once he decides to retire from the dugout.

But Parlour is not convinced his former boss would stay in the capital with Arsenal.

He told talkSPORT: “He would know if hasn’t done a good job this season, and I think he would walk.

“He wouldn’t go upstairs, I think he’d go back to France and that’s it.

“I don’t think he’d be part of the board. I don’t think he’s the sort of man who would do that.”

The ex-England international spent eight years under the former Monaco manager’s stewardship before leaving Arsenal to join Middlesbrough in 2004.
