Under-fire Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has a new detractor in the shape of Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
Kagame has thrown his weight behind disgruntled Gunners fans calling on the Frenchman to leave the Emirates.
The former rebel leader -- who once received a signed banner from Wenger for his birthday -- made his plea for regime change in a series of tweets published after Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United Sunday.
"I very much support Arsenal -- but to be honest Wenger needs to coach another team now and Arsenal needs another coach," Kagame wrote.
Wenger's inability to address his side's defensive woes was already testing fans' patience but a decision to bring on out-of-sorts Andrey Arshavin for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain -- who had made a sparkling start to the game -- turned the crowd against him.
Wenger has coached Arsenal since 1996 but after being celebrated as the north London club's greatest ever boss, he has gone six years without a major trophy and his aura is fading.
"When a good team and a good coach fail for long to deliver, one of them has to change, or even both!!" said Kagame, who came to power in the small central African nation in 1994.
Arsenal's worldwide fan base is also believed to include Cuba's Fidel Castro.
