Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reiterated that he is fully committed to the club and is not interested in becoming the next Manchester City manager.
Reports have linked the Frenchman with City, who are thought to be scouring the globe for an experienced manager to replace the under-pressure Mark Hughes and lead their ongoing revolution.
Wenger has been at Arsenal for over 13 years, but his future at the club has come under speculation as the club have failed to win a trophy in close to four years and could miss out on the Champions League next season.
"I have never allowed anyone to question my commitment to this club, in the good and in the bad times, that has not changed in my mind," said Wenger.
"They [Man City] have a very good manager in Mark Hughes. He is doing a good job. They have to keep confidence in him.
"On my side, I am contracted until 2011 and until 2011 I do not envisage to go anywhere else," added Wenger, who has led Arsenal to two domestic doubles.
Wenger also claimed he expects his skipper Cesc Fabregas to stay at the club long after he has stepped down as manager. Fabregas admitted he would question his future at the club if Wenger were to leave.
The Arsenal manager felt the club should be "built around" Fabregas and that the Spaniard could be at the club for another decade.
