The BBC reported the news that Wenger had signed a three year extension to his contract yesterday and it has now been confirmed by Arsenal.com. If Arsene stays until the end of this contract in 2011 (he has never broken one yet) it will make him Arsenals longest ever serving manager.
I don’t think many Arsenal fans really ever believed that Wenger was going to leave, considering his commitment in the past and that to the new young generation of players. Wenger said -
“My heart is tied to this football club so signing a new deal was always my intention. Arsenal is the club of my life. I have been entrusted with complete freedom to implement and execute my plans on what will make the team successful and that means I have a responsibility to the fans to deliver silverware and also a responsibility to the players to help turn our potential into prizes. This Club has deep-seated roots and a tremendous heritage and it is my aim to uphold these important values and help create new history for future generations to recount.”
There is also a great transcript of the full interview here.
With the contract settled we can focus on the rest of the season and beating the scum at Shite Hart Lane.
