The arsenal's coach (Arsene Wenger) announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season after 22 years
Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach, will leave the "Gunner" team at the end of this season after 22 years at the helm, the club reported Friday through a statement entitled "Merci Arsene" on its official website.
"After considering it and having discussed it with the club, I felt that it is the right moment to move aside at the end of this season," explained the French coach.
The Frenchman said he is "delighted" to have had "the privilege" of serving the club for so many years. "I want to thank the coaching staff, the players and the managers that make this team so special, and I ask the fans to continue supporting the team to finish this season as high as possible," he added.
The departure of Wenger was a recurring theme in recent seasons, due to the stagnation in the results of the London club, which for the second consecutive season will not qualify for the Champions League. At the moment, Arsenal is sixth in the standings, in places of Europa League, with 54 points, 33 of the leader, the City, and 14 of Tottenham Hotspur, which marks the Champions positions.
In addition, the Londoners can see their European place in danger, since Burnley is two points to hunt them, although in the event that Southampton does not win the FA Cup, the seventh of the Premier would also access the second highest European competition.
Wenger, 68, can still bid farewell to the Emirates with a trophy under his arm, as he is immersed in the fight for the Europa League, a title he has not won.
