Arsenal football club’s coach, Arsene Wenger, has agreed to end his tenure as coach of the elite England-based team at the end of the season.

With Wenger agreeing to step down, he ends a 22 years reign.

The coach revealed that after talks with the club and having considered several factors, he made the decision.

In what was a shock announcement on Friday morning ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash with West Ham, Wenger confirmed that he will leave the club.

“After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season,” Wenegr said in a statement.

 

“I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years. “I managed the club with full commitment and integrity.

“I want to thank the staff, the players, the Directors and the fans who make this club so special. “I urge our fans to stand behind the team to finish on a high. To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club. “My love and support for ever.”

Stan Kroenke, Arsenal’s majority shareholder, paid tribute to Wenger and hailed his influence on the club as one of the key reasons that he bought into the club in the first place, with the American billionaire admitting that he hopes to build on the Frenchman’s legacy.

“This is one of the most difficult days we have ever had in all our years in sport,” Kroenke said. “One of the main reasons we got involved with Arsenal was because of what Arsène has brought to the club on and off the pitch. His longevity and consistency over such a sustained period at the highest level of the game will never be matched.

“Arsène has unparalleled class and we will always be grateful to him. Everyone who loves Arsenal and everyone who loves football owes him a debt of gratitude. Three Premier League titles, including an entire season unbeaten, seven FA Cup triumphs and 20 successive years in the Champions League is an exceptional record. He has also transformed the identity of our club and of English football with his vision for how the game can be played.

“We have high ambitions to build on Arsène’s remarkable tenure and to honour his vision by ensuring that Arsenal competes for and wins the biggest and most important prizes in the game.

“We must now focus on making a strong finish to the season and ask our millions of fans around the world to join us in paying appropriate tribute to one of the greats of Arsenal’s history and one of the greats of the game.”

 

 

Arsene Wenger is currently the longest serving coach in the Premier League. With his resignation, comes a new era for the club which has witnessed a downward slide in recent years. The club has revealed it will announce an appointment soon, but won’t talk about it until then.
