Arsenal boss Wenger not even thinking about 25 years

Arsenal's Arsene Wenger admits he will not get to 25 years in management with one club like his Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson has done.

Fergie notches up the milestone this weekend and has received praise from Wenger for his magnificent achievement but the Frenchman, who has been with the Gunners since 1996, insists the thought of going on for another decade has not even entered his head.

"What can you say? People are talking about it a lot at the moment," he said of Ferguson's quarter century milestone.

"All you can say is that it is remarkable through the quality and the consistency.

"It is exceptional as well because I don't know anybody at the top level who has done 25 years at the top level with the same club.

"Certainly never anybody will do it again." "The distance is a bit far, that would be 10 more years," he said of his own career.

"I am already happy if I make this year a good season after all of this!"
