Not a chance.
There'd be a queue as long as your arm for the Arsenal job - the problem for them is timing... they missed a chance when Klopp and Guardiola were available, they'll have to wait for another decent window of opportunity for another big name to come around. I suspect they'd like another statesman like manager - in which case, Simeone is probably ruled out. Ancelotti maybe, but age is against him. Alternatively they might go for a lesser know much younger 'up and coming' manager - but that would upset the fans and be seen as risky.
But Rafa? that would be neither one nor the other. Just a half-arsed appointment.
