Arsene Wenger is staying in Arsenal



Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insisted that he would remain with Arsenal for a few more years. On Saturday, right after the 2-1 win at Norwich, the 62-year-old Frenchman stated once again that he has no intentions to leave his team at the end of the season. He said: "I have a few more years to go. I will stay and that's it", but he also admited that if club decides so, he would have no other choice to leave, but he is completely commited to his job. Wenger promised to show his commitment at the end of the season.

The Frenchman is in charge of the Gunners since 1996. He lead them to three Premier League titles, and four FA Cup wins, but he has not won a trophy since 2005.

In September Stan Kroenke, the owen of Arsenal, stated that the future of Wenger is in his hands, and that he's the only one to decide when Wenger is leaving.

In his interview to the French Newspaper L'Equipe, Arsene Wenger revealed his disappointment of the loss of key players. "For the first time I lost young players, who were reaching maturity," he said. "I suffered. It's painful to lose key men you have invested a lot in."

This statement is related to the loss of Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona and Samir Nasri to Manchester City, this summer.

Arsene Wenger signed his current contract in August 2010 and it expires in the summer of 2014, but as the manager himself said he is planning to stay "another 14 years" at the club.
