"Yes, of course [I am still in love with Arsenal]," Wenger told the club's website. "I tackle, I shoot, I defend, I attack [during every game] of course.

"My life is red and white and that will remain, especially as I don't manage anymore so I have no other commitment.

"This is a real love story on my side that will never stop. I must say that arrived here at the age of 47... I came out from my village and was 10 years at the top level in France, after I went to Japan, which was a risk completely to my career. Then I came to England at the age of 47 and stayed until I was 69, and I gave to this club the best years of my career and I am happy for having done that.

"I said many times that I many times had the opportunity to leave and I didn't do it, because I felt I could work in this club and generate values that will remain after me.

"Today I can look at what I did, and I am happy. I am grateful to Arsenal because I could do my job liked I wanted to do it, of course with ups and downs, be with my team - we were happy to work without any compromise on what was important to us, which were the values that were important to us.

"Not every manager has that luck, that is why I am grateful, for such a long period, to do that."
