Arsene Wenger hints at Arsenal departure in summer 2017
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Arsene Wenger has hinted that he may be ready to quit Arsenal at the end of next season when his current contract expires.
The boss spoke of a desire to leave the Gunners in the best shape for the next manager as he faced some angry questions from supporters and shareholders at the club's AGM on Thursday.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Wenger's current £8million-a-year ($12.3m) deal expires in summer 2017, by which time the Frenchman would have spent 21 years at the helm.
He said: "I am resolute to commit absolutely until the last day of my contract to bring back big success to this club, and leave as well one day in a position where it can do even better when I leave.
"That is for me very important that I leave the club in the shape that the guy who comes after me can do better.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"The responsibility on my shoulders is much bigger. I know what it means for people. I know how sad people are when we don't do well, I know how sad people are when we lose a game."
