[According to journalist Kike Marin](https://twitter.com/Kike_Marin_/status/1193260241053454341), Arsenal chief Raul Sanllehi is on the hunt for a new head coach and has held talks with the former manager of the Spain national side.

Enrique’s most successful season as a manager came in the 2014/2015 season when he won the treble with the Catalan giants [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luis-enrique/erfolge/trainer/6499)

Emery has been coming under increasing pressure recently with the Gunners having gone [five games without a win](https://whoscored.com/Teams/13/Fixtures/England-Arsenal) across all competitions.

There have been calls for him to be [sacked by the north London faithful](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/11/09/get-rid-of-this-fraud-these-arsenal-fans-react-to-emerys-lineup-for-crucial-leicester-clash/), however, according to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/1365197/2019/11/10/exclusive-arsenal-will-not-sack-emery-and-are-100-behind-the-manager-they-believe-club-are-on-the-right-path/), the Spaniard retains the support of the hierarchy at the Emirates Stadium.

Leicester City’s 2-0 win yesterday meant the side has now suffered their worst start to a league season since the 1982/1983 campaign, having acquired just 17 points from 12 games [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50271775).

The thought of Enrique managing the side seems to excite many of the fans as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
