Wenger förlänger med 3 år - i klubben till Maj 2017
17 years and counting...
Arsene Wenger skriver på för ytterligare 3 år i klubben. Han har varit Arsenal trogen i 17 år och 1010 matcher, och fler blir det.
3 Premier League-titlar 5 FA-cuper, 4 Communitty Shield och en Champions League-final. Blir det Champions League-spel till hösten (ett kval väntar) så blir det 17 raka säsonger i Europas finrum.
Både ordförande Sir Chips Keswick och majoritetsägare Stan Kroenke är givetvis oerhört nöjda med Wengers beslut att stanna kvar i klubben. De pratar både om de tuffa ekonomiska och titeltörstande åren bakom oss samt framtiden och allt som ser ljust ut.
“We are delighted that Arsène has renewed his contract for a further three years. He is a man of principle, who lives and breathes Arsenal. He has established Arsenal for its exciting playing style around the world, continues his commitment to young players and has the ability to bring top-class players to the club. I have no doubt we have an exciting future ahead of us with him leading the team.” - Sir Chips Keswick
“Sustained excellence is the hardest thing to achieve in sport and the fact Arsenal has competed at the top of the game in England and Europe throughout the time Arsène has been manager, is the ultimate testimony to his consistency of performance, talent and ambition. We are delighted with the FA Cup success which has added to his already outstanding record. Under his guidance we look forward to adding more trophies in future seasons.” - Stan Kroenke
Vi hoppas att Arsene Wenger ser vad som krävs för att forstsätta plocka titlar de närmaste åren och önskar honom lycka till på färden.
