Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has agreed a new two-year contract, extending his 21-year reign at the club.

Wenger and club owner Stan Kroenke met on Monday to determine the Frenchman's future, with the decision relayed to directors at a Tuesday board meeting.

Arsenal are planning to make an official announcement on Wednesday.

The Gunners were fifth in the Premier League this season, the first time they have finished outside the top four since the Frenchman joined in 1996.

They finished 18 points behind champions Chelsea, but beat the Blues to win the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.

Wenger's contract was set to finish at the end of the current campaign.

More to follow.

Anyone who had any doubt this was going to happen doesn't really know much about Arsenal and how they operate. This was always going to happen, irrespective of whether we won the FA cup mind you, and the only reason it wasn't announced earlier was because of the hostile environment we were playing in anyway. If this was announced during the season, the environment would have been almost unbearable for Wenger.

Did you guys see when Arsene a week before the final that the board had to make the right decision and not the popular one?

Our board has no sporting ambition, the owner Stan Kroenke owns other sports teams in the US, he is an investor first and foremost, and cares only about cashing in from his investments. Commercially we are very successful; so obviously he is never going to go out there and bring in a manager that would demand funds, players, and resources.

If Sanchez also ends up leaving this summer as he is expected to; I think we Arsenal fans have to brace ourselves for years of fifth and sixth, thursday night football, and our star players being Walcott, Ramsey, Welbeck and Chamberlain.

It was 100 procent predictable, doesn't make it any less funny tho. It's in fact pure insanity in footballing terms.

Chamberlain is leaving for Pool, no? That's what I keep hearing.

Arsene is 30 prem matches away from catching up to Ferguson's record as the all time longest serving manager in the premier league. Consider that done. :ratcafe:
