"Arsenal" wants to keep A. Wenger © EuroFootball.com

"The president of London's club, Peter Hillas Wood, officially confirms that he would like to see Arsene Wenger continue in the position of team coach, whose contract with the Gunners expires in a year.

In recent days, it is said that vice president David Dein has left Arsenal due to differences in opinions. Dein was the one who brought A. Wenger to the club in 1996, so rumors have spread that the same fate awaits the strategist from France.

“Everyone knows that Dein and Wenger had excellent relations. However, I believe that Wenger's relationship with the club management is good. The coach's contract is valid until 2008 and I really hope that Wenger will want to extend it,” said P.H. Wood. - "We have a very good team - young and promising players. If Wenger wants to intelligently strengthen the squad, we will give him the opportunity and the finances."

Under A. Wenger's leadership, Arsenal won the Premier League three times, the FA Cup four times, and reached the Champions League final last year. In addition, the strategist was voted Coach of the Year three times."
