Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger faces a nervous wait to know if he will remain at the club or will be shown the door, following a crucial meeting with arsenal owner Stan Kroenke yesterday.

It is understood that the Frenchman’s future was discussed at length in the meeting, and the outcome is unclear. The decision rests solely with Kroenke and whatever decision is made it be relayed to the directors at Tueday’s board meeting.

Wenger’s contract with the club expires this summer, but fresh terms were agreed in principle some months ago, but nothing is signed.

The 67-year-old has faced unprecedented criticism during a season in which the gunners finished outside the premier league’s top four for the first time during his reign.

However, they beat Chelsea on Saturday to win the FA Cup, making Wenger the most successful manager – and arsenal the most successful team – in the competition’s history.

Although Kroenke has never wavered in his desire for Wenger to remain in charge, certain board members feel the time has come for the Frenchman to leave.
