Arsene Wenger won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups with Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger will leave Arsenal at the end of the season, ending a near 22-year reign at the club, according to reports in British media.
Wenger (68) won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups with Arsenal, including the Double in 1998 and 2002.
"After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season. I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years," Wenger said in a statement on the club website.
"I managed the club with full commitment and integrity. I want to thank the staff, the players, the Directors and the fans who make this club so special."
"I urge our fans to stand behind the team to finish on a high."
"To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club."
"My love and support for ever," signed off Wenger.
Appointed on 1 October 1996, Wenger is the Premier League's current longest-serving manager and has taken charge of a record 823 games.
Some fans have turned on the Frenchman over the past two seasons as a result of their league performances.
Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Newcastle was their 11th in the league this season, equalling their worst tally in a campaign under Wenger.
They are 33 points behind leaders Manchester City, who have 87 points, and the same number away from bottom side West Brom, who have 21.
Arsenal finished outside the top four last term for the first time since Wenger arrived at the club, and are now 14 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, with five matches remaining.
They face Spanish side Atletico Madrid, who are second in La Liga, in the Europa League semi-finals, with the first leg on Thursday.
The Longest-Serving PL Manager
Arsene Wenger was appointed as Arsenal manager on 1 October 1996 from Japanese club Nagoya Grampus Eight. The Frenchman learned the trade in the early stages of his managerial career in France with spells at Strasbourg, Cannes and Nancy before earning a move to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco.
Wenger won the French League Championship in 1988 before moving to Japan seven years later for an 18 month stint.
Wenger guided Arsenal to their first Premier League title in the 1997/98 season. He won the league again in the 2001/02 season before making history in 2003/04, as his side went unbeaten throughout the entire league campaign on the way to sealing a third Premier League crown.
Wenger's side were dubbed ‘The Invincibles’.
Wenger has also won seven FA Cup trophies with the Gunners - the most of any manager - and was voted Manager of the Year in 1998, 2002 and 2004.
Wenger became the Premier League’s current longest serving manager when Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the end of the 2012/13 season.
