Arsene Wenger

'The last four years have been my best'

By Richard Clarke

Arsène Wenger believes the last four years have been his best period at the Club - even though Arsenal have not landed a trophy in that time.

During his 13 years in charge, the Frenchman has won three League titles, four FA Cups and taken his side to within 14 minutes of a Champions League victory. However, in Wenger's eyes, his greatest achievement has been to keep his side in the highest echelons of the European game while the Club have undergone the major upheaval of changing their ground.

"I think moving into a new stadium and keeping the team at the top in the last four years is, for me, my best period at my club," said Wenger in an exclusive webchat with Arsenal.com on Tuesday.

"Unfortunately it is as well the period when we have not won trophies. But people forget that we have been reasonably consistent. It has been the most difficult period but as well for me the period where I worked the best.

"To move into a new stadium and yet still make some money in every single year without the team dropping the level, then maintaining a successful period in the Champions League, and doing reasonably well in the League has been quite difficult."
