Wenger signs Arsenal contract extension

  • 14 years ago

Arsene Wenger has signed a contract extension with Arsenal, tying him to the club until June 2014.

The Frenchman, who is the north London club's longest-serving manager, joined the Gunners in 1996 and has led them to three Premier League titles and four FA Cup wins.

He said: "My heart belongs to Arsenal and my desire is to see this team win silverware. My commitment and drive are as strong and fresh as ever.

"Signing a new deal means that I can see this talented group of players reach their potential. Trust me, they are ready to deliver."

At a press conference ahead of Arsenal's opening Premier League game against Liverpool, Wenger said that captain Cesc Fabregas is also fully committed to the club.
