LONDON, May 22 - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may already be planning his departure from the London club - if his latest declarations following their FA Cup final victory over Manchester United are to be taken seriously.
Wenger suggested his long spell with the Gunners may come to an end once they move to a new ground at Ashburton Grove in 2007.
The Frenchman said he may then look to new challenges'', and he admits that the lure of club management would still prevent him from taking over as manager of the French national team. One day, another manager will benefit from the new stadium and new team,’’ Wenger told the News of the World.
When we go to the new stadium I feel it will have completed what I set out to do with Arsenal. It is only at that time when I may look to new challenges. I do not see managing France as a big enough challenge but that could change. League football is a bigger challenge.’’
