PARIS — As he lowered himself into his seat in the Parc des Princes press conference room, Mikel Arteta informed reporters that some of his Arsenal players had been crying following the end of their Champions League run. He looked close to tears himself. Forty minutes after the final whistle, Arteta looked disconsolate, coming to terms with a painful defeat that stretches his and Arsenal’s wait for a major trophy to at least six years. It is a setback that will sting as spring moves into summer.

It has been 19 months since Robbie Fowler’s successful, if short-lived, stint in charge of Saudi Arabia side Al-Qadsiah ended, but he has kept himself ticking over, waiting for a fresh opportunity to materialise. Fowler, 50, has managed around the world, in Thailand, Australia, India, and in the Gulf, and is keen to return to coaching. In the meantime, he is busying himself with learning about sports directorship by undertaking a two-year course delivered by the PFA’s Business School.
