What will happen on May 30?
May 30 is considered the "day of judgment" for coach Wenger's future. The Arsenal board meeting will be chaired by President Stan Kroenke to discuss the club's next directions.
The current problem is very clear, President Kroenke wants to change the structure of the club to escape the crisis. However, in the opposite direction, Wenger wants to keep all the legacy he has built over the past 20 years.
Therefore, in the "peak" meeting on May 30, there will be a big disagreement between Wenger and Kroenke - 2 people who have been in the same direction for 20 years.
Is Wenger still an important factor for the "Gunners"?
This question was unexpectedly mentioned more often than criticism after Arsenal beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup. "The Gunners" players such as Aaron Ramsey have publicly wanted the French coach to stay and continue leading the club in the following seasons.
"Of course I want him to stay. The coach is a great man and he deserves the most respect. Arsene has changed the club day by day and I hope to work with him longer," Ramsey shared.
How does the Champions League ticket affect Wenger's future?
Arsenal have missed out on the Champions League for the first time in 17 consecutive years and of course, the Europa League cannot be as prestigious as the Champions League.
This result directly affects the French coach's ambition to stay at the club because when working with Kroenke, money and revenue are always the number 1 priority. Not being able to participate in the Champions League will cost Arsenal a huge sum of money. This is a minus for Wenger in the negotiations on May 30.
In the last 3 years, Arsenal have won 3 FA Cups in 2014, 2015 and 2017, but these long-standing titles have not had much effect. Although there were some "Wenger In" signs at Wembley Stadium last weekend, they were only a minority.
What did Wenger say about his future after winning the FA Cup?
When asked about his future at Arsenal after the FA Cup match against Chelsea, the French coach immediately took out the FA Cup medal from his pocket. It was also the 7th time in his career that the "Professional" had this honor.
"I won't answer at the moment. Every time like this is a special time and I don't want to stop. We are all adults, I will accept everything no matter what happens," Wenger shared.
