Hurrah!!! Arsene Wenger to stay till 2017
Arsene Wenger has agreed a new three-year deal to remain as Arsenal manager until 2017.The contract could be signed and announced tomorrow Saturday May 31
The 64 year old French manager has led Arsenal to eight major trophies since joining them in September 1996.
This season he guided the Gunners to a 17th consecutive Champions League qualification and ended a nine-year wait for silverware with victory over Hull City in the FA Cup final.
The Frenchman, who moved to the club from Japanese outfit Grampus Eight, was in the final year of his current contract.
Arsenal had not lifted a major domestic trophy since 2005 prior to the recent FA Cup triumph, although they did reach the Champions League final in 2006...... On Nigeria's world cup bid, the french man has this to say. “I think that Nigeria might qualify for the second stage,” “They really made a good impression on me during the African Cup of Nations. They seem to have a really good team spirit, which is not always easy for African teams.
“They have less star players. They have a real team, and it’s been a while since that happened for them,” Wenger said of Stephen Keshi’s team.
