Arsene Wenger says that he is "not obsessed" with ending his Arsenal managerial career with a trophy.

Arsene Wenger has claimed that he is "not obsessed" with ending his managerial career at Arsenal with a trophy.

The Frenchman, who is celebrating 20 years in charge of the North London club, will come to the end of his current contract next summer.

Wenger has guided Arsenal to major silverware on nine occasions, the last triumph being the FA Cup final in the 2014-15 campaign.

Sir Alex Ferguson ended his 26-year career in charge of Manchester United with the Premier League title in 2013, but Wenger would not be disappointed if his final season ended without a trophy.

"I am not obsessed by that," FourFourTwo quotes Wenger as saying. "Would Ferguson have not have gone out on a high after the history? Time makes a difference with what the guy has done. He would still be the same great manager had he not gone out on a high. You don't lose his experience just in the last year.

"One of the factors is that the club and supporters still want me and I still want to stay. What will make me want to stay is that I feel I can give more to the club. People know that if things go well my priority is this club. After I have to accept as well that if things don't go well, maybe I do something else.

"If I look back, the way I manage today is not the same as it was five, 10 or 20 years ago. I accept that it can finish tomorrow. It's a love story and you always expect a love story to last forever, but it can always stop suddenly."

Arsenal have won three Premier League titles and six FA Cups under Wenger's leadership.
