Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, had revealed he might wait until next April before he signs a new deal with the club.
The 67-year-old’s current contract expires in June 2017 and there is reportedly a new two-year deal on the table for him.
Wenger, however, insists he will only stay, depending on whether Arsenal are successful in the Premier League and Champions League.
He said: “I always said that I will judge where I stand in spring and make my decisions then. And the club is free as well. It’s not because I am here a long time that I have any rights. We are both on the same boat.
“The club are happy and it will not affect planning. There are plenty of managers who arrived at the end of their contract. It happened to me before. I signed sometimes in March, April for longer contracts. So I don’t think it’s a problem.
“I worked everywhere I was until the last day of my contract with total commitment. That’s why maybe I can go back everywhere I was, because people respect that.”
Wenger let his last contract run down in 2014 and did not sign until the Gunners won the FA Cup.
