Wenger reaches 15 year milestone at Arsenal
Arsene Wenger celebrated 15 years as manager of Arsenal on Friday and still has the same ambition to make the Gunners the best club in the world.
The Frenchman has not won a trophy for six years and faces Tottenham in the North London derby at White Hart Lane at the weekend.
He said: “The vision is to make this club the best club in the world, it is as simple as that. To carry through the values we think are important in the game. I’m very proud of the values I defend in the game and we will try to continue to do that.”
When asked how long it might take to put Arsenal on top, Wenger added: “In my life I hope. You may say to me I have to live very long, I don’t know. I want to try to give my best because only the best is acceptable and if I don’t manage to do it I am very sad. Like when we had a bad start to the season, it is uncomfortable but we keep going.”
How long did Wenger think he would last at Arsenal when he arrived at Highbury in 1996.
“One week, two weeks if I was lucky,” he said. “I didn’t know. I was in exactly the same frame of mind as I am now. I try to do well and see if it works or not, rejected or not, can win or not, like any manager when you come in somewhere.”
“I have been very lucky to spend 15 years at this club. I live in the present and the future so I hate to look back. I use the history to improve, that’s what I want to do. I am grateful and lucky to have spent so much time at this club, he added.”
