Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis says manager Arsene Wenger has a job for life.
The new chief has admitted that Wenger has a job with the club as long as he wants it despite the Gunners not winning a major trophy in four seasons.
"I'd like Arsene to stay for as long as he has the motivation to do the job - and I don't see any dimming on his part," Gazidis told The People.
"He believes in the project. He's built a superb team of young players with great characters and real quality. I think that he will want to see that through.
"Arsene is one of the best managers in the world and I cannot imagine a situation where he would want to walk away from Arsenal.
"It is difficult for me to imagine him not being the manager. Arsene's identity and the identity of the club are intertwined."
