Wenger not tempted by retirement

Arsene Wenger became the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history on Thursday but neither that milestone nor the fact he turns 60 next month have triggered thoughts of retirement.

Wenger, whose arrival at Highbury in the autumn of 1996 was famously greeted with an "Arsene Who?" headline, eclipsed the reign of George Allison in the 1930s and 1940s by spending 4,749 days at the helm.

The Frenchman can look back with pride on 13 years which have transformed the "boring, boring Arsenal" of old into a club synonomous with his unique brand of pass-and-move football.

Along the way, Wenger has delivered three Premier League titles, including the unbeaten campaign of his 2003-04 "Invincibles", four FA Cups and a place in the 2006 Champions League final.

Success on the pitch financed the move from Highbury to the 60,000-seat Emirates Stadium and last week saw the north London club announce turnover of 313 million pounds for its past financial year, a record for a British football club.

The Frenchman takes pride in those achievements, as he does in the fostering of young talents such as Cesc Fabregas and in the astute transfer market judgement that has helped put the club on such a sound financial footing.

But he readily admits that setbacks such as the defeat by Barcelona in Paris three years ago and last season's Champions League semifinal loss to Manchester United still rankle and provide him with all the motivation he needs to carry on.

"Losing the semifinal of the Champions League to Manchester United last year was the lowest point because we did not play at our level," he said.

Asked if thoughts of retirement had entered his head, Wenger responded with a dismissive snort. "I have never had a day when I think I could live without football," he said.

"I know one day it will happen but you should not live every day knowing you are going to die - you live knowing that you want to live."
