Arsene Wenger is eyeing an extension of his contract at Arsenal to end his club managerial career at Emirates Stadium.
The 61-year-old Frenchman, who has been at the Gunners' helm since 1996, has one year remaining on his existing deal.
But he insists he has "no desire" to go anywhere else before he steps down from club management at the age of 65.
Wenger told The Observer: "I am at a stage where if I extend my contract it means I will finish my career at club level at Arsenal.
"If I go for a different challenge - I have been offered many challenges you know - it has to be now.
"That's a decision I have to make. But basically, I have no desire to change from here. I have one more year, and we are maybe thinking about extending it."
On the subject of stepping down from the pressures of club management at 65, Wenger added: "I cannot see that my enthusiasm will drop, but I am not necessarily the same resistance physically as Alex Ferguson.
"At 65 I will certainly move to some different job, unless I still feel like I feel today."
Skipper Cesc Fabregas will still be at the club for the season ahead after the Gunners were able to resist Barcelona's advances for the player.
Wenger insists the club's strong financial position allowed them to keep hold of their skipper and he hailed the sound financial management at the Emirates.
"He was torn," admitted the Arsenal boss.
"But I must say that during the whole period Cesc was remarkably respectful of Arsenal. He has never shown a lack of love for the club, and in the end we managed to hold on to him.
"What people do not realise is we can say no to anybody in the world because we are in a healthy financial situation.
"If we are £300million in debt, we cannot keep our best players. People have to understand that we were strong with the Fabregas case because we are well managed.
"We could afford to be strong, we can afford to say no to any number, because we just feel we want to keep our best players."
Gooners' for Life! He's not moving to anywhere!
