Arsene Wenger has admitted that leading Arsenal back to glory is the biggest challenge of his career.
The Gunners have slipped into the shadows in the last couple of years, with Chelsea and Manchester United the dominant forces in the Premiership.
Wenger, though, has built a solid foundation for the future as Arsenal have a raft of young stars coming through the ranks.
The Frenchman has always maintained that the rising stars have the potential to go to the very top, but he is aware that it is up to him to lead them to glory.
"It is the biggest challenge of my career because I am desperate to bring them as far as they can go and I feel there is a lot of potential in there," said Wenger.
"I have to make them realise that a sports life passes quickly and that you have to quickly be mature.
"The second thing is not to lose the belief, because this year of course we didn't win anything, and come back next season with the great belief that they can do well.
"To be a professional and a young player is to learn as well how to deal with disappointment.
"This year we had a massive disappointment, I feel overall, especially in going out of the Champions League the way we went out.
"But it is part of a growing process as well to handle this kind of disappointment and to still not let your disappointment stop your progression."
