Wenger To Announce His Future At Arsenal On Wednesday

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, on Monday met with the club’s majority owner, Stan Kroenke, to discuss his future. 

According to the BBC, the outcome is unclear. But the decision on whether Wenger will continue or not, rests solely on him and Kroenke. It will be relayed to directors at a board meeting on Tuesday.

Wenger has always insisted that he wants to continue at the Premier League club, which he has managed for over 21 years now. Fresh terms were agreed in principle some months ago, but nothing is signed yet.

The delay has been the atmosphere around the club, with the 67-year-old facing unprecedented backlash during a season, where the Gunners missed out on Champions League qualification.

However, the Gunners beat Chelsea on Saturday to win the FA Cup, making Wenger the most successful manager – and Arsenal the most successful team – in the competition’s history.

Kroenke has always backed Wenger to remain in charge, but it is understood that certain board members feel the time has come for him to go. Wenger also met Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis on Monday.

Arsenal are planning to make an announcement and release an interview with Wenger on Wednesday.

Wenger Speaks On Arsenal's Top Four Miss

 Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has blamed his side finishing outside the top four places in the Premier League, on a bad spell during the season.

The Gunners will play in the Europa League next term, despite winning 3-1 at home against Everton in their final league fixture.

Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough and Manchester City’s 5-1 crushing of Watford, means Wenger’s men miss out of playing alongside Europe’s elite for the first time in 20 years.

“It is annoying but we had a spell during the season that was difficult and it was difficult for me in my personal situation. We were playing in a hostile environment. The players came back stronger in the last two months and I’m very proud of them for doing that.

“I was focused on my job. I am professional. I love this club enough to do my best every single day. One thing you cannot question is my love for this club. I’ve turned down every club in the world to stay here,” Wenger said after Sunday’s game.
