Arsene Wenger agreed to sign a new contract at Arsenal
because he has set his sights on making the Gunners the 'best club
in the world'.
The Arsenal manager put an end to months of speculation that he was
set to leave the club by agreeing a new deal to keep him at
Emirates Stadium until 2011.
Wenger has previously admitted his delight at agreeing the new
terms, but the French tactician has now revealed a desire to
develop his young side into world beaters.
"I feel in our job you are always tempted to have other
experiences," Wenger told the Daily Express.
"But I was mature enough to rate what I have, and I'm ambitious
enough to know I can push this club forward. Today my desperate
ambition is again to do that.
Ambition
"I want to achieve the maximum with this team and it is very young
and very ambitious as well. I feel I share that ambition with my
team.
"That is one of the reasons I wanted to get a taste of how hungry
this team is before I definitely go for it.
"I feel I share the ambition with everybody to make Arsenal the
best club in the world and that everybody works to be successful in
that.
"I want to win the championship, win the UEFA Champions League and
be consistent. It's that simple.
"I must say that it's a great pleasure to work with this team
because we share the same hunger and desire to do well. I'm
confident we can.
"We have great belief, we trust each other and so it's a good
basis. I have enough belief in their quality."
