No final farewell for Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger insists winning the FA Cup on Saturday would be a triumph for Arsenal’s late-season resurgence and not the perfect end to his time at the club.

Wenger again refused to confirm whether he will still be Arsenal’s manager next season and was keen to emphasise this weekend’s Wembley showdown with Chelsea will not affect his future.

Arsenal have won the FA Cup six times under Wenger’s leadership and a record seventh would allow the Frenchman to go out on a high following the disappointment of missing Champions League qualification.
