As Arsene Wenger wins FA Cup for seventh time, was final his last game as Arsenal boss?
Decision on Frenchman’s future set to be made on Tuesday
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he remained in the dark about his future after steering his side to a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
Chelsea were chasing a Premier League and FA Cup double, but instead the double was Arsenal’s: a record 13th FA Cup success and an unprecedented seventh triumph in the competition for Wenger.
Wenger’s future, which has been up in the air for months, will be settled at a board meeting on Tuesday, but the 67-year-old said he could not say for certain whether or not the club’s decision-makers will back him.
“I don’t think I can answer that question at the moment,” he said.
Wenger is reported to have been offered a new contract, but when asked if he knows what will happen, he replied: “No. I know my mind. Let’s enjoy the win tonight and not worry about the future.”
Wenger was also dismissive of the notion that his record-breaking FA Cup success, after previous wins in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2014 and 2015, might have an impact on the talks about his position.
