Arsene Wenger hopes to stay with Arsenal once he retires from management.
The manager's current deal runs to 2014.
"I don't know," he said of his long-term future. "I have three years to go. I am 61. Nothing lasts forever that is for sure. If it's not me anymore there will be someone else who can do exactly the same, if not better. I don't know if I will stay with the club after I finish as manager. Right now I feel active and want to be on the football pitch.
"Once I cannot do it anymore I will try to be useful somewhere else, preferably at this club but if this club doesn't need me than somewhere else."
