Wenger never doubted his role as Arsenal manager

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has re-iterated his stance on remaining in his current position.

There have been murmurings that the Frenchman was set to leave the Emirates Stadium, quite possibly this summer, as he is yet to sign a new contract.

However, Wenger made it clear that he would be putting pen to a new deal at the end of the season after getting the Gunners into the Champions League yet again as well as into the FA Cup final.

"Don't worry, don't be too impatient, my last time will come, you'll get rid of me one day, don't worry!" Wenger said after Arsenal beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 on Sunday.

"I've said many times my word is my word. I'm from a period where you didn't need a pen to commit.

"Look at me, look at me. You will see me again.

"It's not linked to the FA Cup final. It was important, of course, to be in the Champions League - that's for sure.

"No. I've had no moments of doubt. If I had moments of doubt it would have been a few years ago when I had to say no to many offers and commit to this club and I was under a lot of pressure."
