Every Arsenal fan loves this news but let us not forget that Wenger is one of the greatest coach out there. Arsenal will probably start buying players because know top coach can manage players like Wenger. I suggest formal Dortmumd coach for them

Arsene Wenger has announced that he will part company with Arsenal at the end of the season.

Wenger, 68, who took charge of the club in October 1996, will end his tenure as the longest-serving manager in the Premier League next month.

“After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season,” Wenger announced in a statement on the club’s official website.

“I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years. I managed the club with full commitment and integrity.

“I want to thank the staff, the players, the Directors and the fans who make this club so special.

“I urge our fans to stand behind the team to finish on a high. To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club."

The club's majority owner Stan Kroenke said the announcement of Wenger's departure was "one of the most difficult days we have ever had in all our years in sport".

Kroenke added: "One of the main reasons we got involved with Arsenal was because of what Arsene has brought to the club on and off the pitch. His longevity and consistency over such a sustained period at the highest level of the game will never be matched."

“We have high ambitions to build on Arsene’s remarkable tenure and to honour his vision by ensuring that Arsenal competes for and wins the biggest and most important prizes in the game."

The statement added that the club "will make an appointment as soon as possible".

Don't you think if you should become like Utd (currently above you in the league in 2nd place, played champions league football last season and are set to do so the next one, while you are very possibly going nowhere), that would be an improvement of your lot in life?

Arsène Wenger will leave Arsenal at the end of the season, bringing to an end a trophy-laden but also increasingly fractious 22-year association between the Frenchman and the club.

Arsenal made the surprise announcement on Friday morning. Wenger signed a fresh two-year contract extension last summer and while there was speculation he would leave halfway though that deal, few thought confirmation of that would arrive before the conclusion of the current campaign, especially with a Europa League semi-final against Atlético Madrid to come.

“After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season,” said Wenger in a statement posted on Arsenal’s website. “I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years.

“I managed the club with full commitment and integrity. I want to thank the staff, the players, the Directors and the fans who make this club so special. I urge our fans to stand behind the team to finish on a high. To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club. My love and support for ever.”

Wenger was a relative unknown in this country when he was appointed Arsenal’s manager in September 1996. But having led the club to the double in his first full season in charge, he quickly became viewed as a revolutionary figure, introducing sophisticated methods to the preparation and well-being of players as well as tapping into the overseas market to sign relatively unheralded players such as Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit who turned out to be world-class talents and part of one of the most thrilling, eye-catching teams ever seen on these shores.

Another double followed in 2002 before the Invincibles campaign, when Arsenal won the 2003-04 title without losing a single game. Two years later, Wenger led Arsenal to the Champions League final, which they lost to Barcelona, and that ultimately proved to be the beginning of the end as far as his reputation as one of the leading managerial figures in this country was concerned.

Since 2006, the only trophy Arsenal have won has been the FA Cup, albeit on three occasions, while their displays in the Champions League have become increasingly poor, the nadir being their 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich last year. Wenger’s defence of this has, in part, included the financial restrictions he has had to work under as a consequence of Arsenal moving to the Emirates Stadium 12 years ago but this line of reasoning has increasingly worn thin with supporters, especially given Arsenal’s increased financial mite in recent years.

The ire of the fanbase has been stoked by the regular loss of key players, most notably Cesc Fàbregas, Robin van Persie and Alexis Sánchez, alongside the club’s slide down the Premier League. Last season they finished outside of the top four for the first time under Wenger’s reign and this year sit in sixth and just two points ahead of seventh-placed Burnley with five games to go. Arsenal are also the only team in the whole of England not to have collected a single point away from home in 2018.

Wenger has appeared almost completely oblivious to the resentment among an increasing number of Arsenal fans to his ongoing stay at the club – seen, in part, by declining attendances at the Emirates – but Friday’s announcement, which comes ahead of the Arsenal’s home match against West Ham United on Sunday, would suggest he has finally accepted he can no longer take the club forward.

It truly is the end of an era.

Arsene Wenger will leave Arsenal at the end of the season.

The Frenchman had another year left on his deal but will leave the club at the end of the campaign.

He announced the news in an emotional letter to the club's supporters.

“After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season," he said.

“I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years."

Wenger joined Arsenal in 1996 and won three Premier League titles during his time with the club.

He led the famous Invincibles side in the 2003-04 season and also won seven FA Cup titles.

Wenger has faced growing pressure over the last few campaigns and there were calls for his departure last summer after missing out on the Champions League.

But the Frenchman signed a two-year deal at the time, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2019.

This season has been one of disappointment with Arsenal sixth and 14 points adrift of the top four.

Arsenal are into the Europa League semi-finals and should they see off Atletico Madrid, the final on May 16 could see him bow out on a high.

“I managed the club with full commitment and integrity. I want to thank the staff, the players, the Directors and the fans who make this club so special," the statement continued.

“I urge our fans to stand behind the team to finish on a high.

“To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club.

"My love and support for ever.”
