In this season, Arsenal for the first time with the Hungarian finished below 4 th place (although scored more points than last season, when he became the 2 nd). Throughout the campaign, the team gave out disappointing stretches and the fans demanded the departure of the Frenchman.

However, in the FA Cup final, Arsenal beat Chelsea and many considered this argument in favor of the fact that the Frenchman will extend the contract.

"I believe that victory is a good sign. But it would be strange if 20 years of work and the future of the club depended on one game. More will be known next week, "- said Wenger.

"There is no perfect way to say goodbye. I just want to act in the interests of the club. I think it's up to the management to decide whether I'm the right person for Arsenal. It's not about popularity, but about competence. You can not spend 35 years at the top level, if you do not believe that you are able to cope with their work ".

"Recently, we have won 7 of 8 matches. Look at December, when we 20 games did not know the defeats - more than ever. This season was defeated in March. I am sure that uncertainty with my future and future players played a role ".

Wenger accepts criticism, but I am sure that during the matches she should not have a place.

"My work is public, so I understand that not everyone will agree that I will be criticized. But as soon as the game begins - you need to be a fan and support the team.

I could not take another in this season and I will never accept. Yes, please, outside the match. I never said a bad word to a single journalist when they criticized my decisions. Same story with the fans. I understand. But, again, as soon as the whistle sounds - support your team. We played some games in a hostile atmosphere, and this is unacceptable ".

It is expected that the decision to extend the contract between Wenger and Arsenal will be announced on Wednesday or Thursday next week.
