Former Arsenal midfielder, Robert Pires, has said that manager, Arsene Wenger might only extend his stay at the club for one more year.
Pires, who played for six seasons under his compatriot, insisted that Wenger is “motivated and willing” to stay on as manager.
He added that he expects the 67-year-old to defy his critics by remaining in charge for a 22nd season.
“In my opinion, he will renew his contract, at least for one season. He is motivated and willing,” Pires told Cadena Ser.
“Arsene has an offer on the table. He has to sign it. He has the backing of the president,” Pires said. “The fans want to win the title and Arsenal are not doing that well. They are in the [FA] Cup semifinals.
“He has to continue and if he does, he needs to change many things. That is the most important thing for him and for Arsenal. We will see what happens.”
Wenger’s current deal expires at the end of this season.
