Wenger: I will still manage a club next season

Arsene Wenger says he will definitely be managing next season, whether at English clubside Arsenal Football Club “or somewhere else”.
The 67-year-old Wenger was speaking at the end of one of the most turbulent weeks of his two-decade tenure as Gunners boss.
After Wednesday’s 5-1 UEFA Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich, several ex-players said they believed Wenger’s time in charge was coming to an end.
The Frenchman’s contract expires at the end of this season and he has said he would decide on a new deal in March or April.
“No matter what happens, I will manage for another season. Whether it’s here or somewhere else, that is for sure,” Wenger said on Friday.
“If I said March or April, it is because I didn’t know. I do not want to come back on that.
“I am used to the criticism. I think in life, it’s important to do what you think is right and all the rest is judgement.
“I am in a public job and I have to accept that, but I have to behave with my values.’’
Arsenal have not won the Premier League since 2004, with FA Cups in 2005, 2014 and 2015 the only major silverware Wenger has secured since.
However, he has consistently qualified for the lucrative Champions League and the club has continued to grow financially, in spite of the pressures of building a new stadium.
The Gunners reached the knockout stage of Europe’s elite club competition for a 14th year in a row this season.
However, the last-16 first-leg thrashing at German champions Bayern Munich on Wednesday leaves them with little hope of progressing.
The performance, coupled with earlier damaging league defeats by Chelsea and Watford, prompted several former Arsenal players — some of whom played under Wenger — to suggest his time was up.
Former Gunners captain Martin Keown described the defeat as Wenger’s “lowest point”, while ex-defender Lee Dixon said: “This team is getting no response from him. I’ve never seen him like that.”
In the Premier League, they are 10 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
After the Blues beat them 3-1 on Feb. 4, ex-England defender Danny Mills said Arsenal “have settled for fourth again”.
Earlier, former striker Ian Wright, who scored 185 goals for the club between 1991 and 1998, said he believed Wenger’s time as Arsenal boss was “coming to the end’’.
Meanwhile, Wenger has announced that defender and captain Laurent Koscielny will have a scan on the injury he suffered against Bayern.
The France international was replaced by Gabriel after limping off just after half-time, and within seven minutes Arsenal conceded twice to go 3-1 down.
The Gunners travel to National League Sutton United in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday.
