Great !! Arsene Wenger Has Agreed To A Two-year Contract Extension At Arsenal
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has
reportedly agreed a two-year contract
extension after meeting club owner Stan
Kroenke on Monday.
The BBC claims Arsenal will confirm Wenger’s
new deal on Wednesday, five days after the
manager guided the Gunners to the 2017 FA
Cup title.
Regardless of cup success, Wenger’s position
has been subject to intense scrutiny
throughout the 2016-2017 season.
A vocal minority of Arsenal fans were
exasperated by underwhelming results during
the season, with Bayern Munich notoriously
destroying them by a 10-2 aggregate margin in
the Champions League in March.
Wenger also failed to deliver Champions
League football next season after Arsenal
finished fifth in the Premier League, 21 points
behind title winners Chelsea.
Wenger recently lambasted the criticisms he
has endured this season. “The lack of respect
from some has been a disgrace and I will
never never forget it,” he told BBC Sport.
Wenger silenced his critics, though, as Arsenal
won the FA Cup after beating Chelsea by a
2-1 score.
The Frenchman’s previous deal was due to
expire at the end of June. By signing a new
contract, Wenger – who had been earning
£8.9 million per year – extends his Gunners
tenure to 23 years.
He has led the club to three Premier League
titles and seven FA Cup trophies.
