Arsène Wenger hinted he could walk away from Arsenal at the end of the season.

“My commitment is not questionable," said Wenger. "I have given my word and I always respect my word.”

However, when asked whether that meant he would definitely be in charge next season, he replied: “Yes, unless I decide otherwise. I have told you many times we have had no time to sit down and do it, but I want to have a feeling coming out of the season that I have done the maximum for the club. Let’s see when the season is over.”

Wenger told the media that he would play no part in the selection of his eventual replacement.

“I always said, and you can check that, everybody has his own job,” he said. “My job is to do well for the team, not to do anything else.”

Asked specifically if he would choose his successor, Wenger said: “No.”
