doing for the long term. I believe he does. I think he is still ambitious, still driven and sees the

"We have got a lot of confidence in Arsene that he is the right person to take the club forward and I think he will want to do that."We have a great relationship and he has a great relationship with the board as well. So, quietly and at the right time, I think we will make an announcement on that

"This is going to happen very quietly behind closed doors, privately and then there will be an announcement.”
