Gunners boss is very busy at Emirates Stadium

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists he will not be leaving the club to take over from Laurent Blanc as head coach of France. The Gunners boss has been linked as a potential replacement for Blanc after the former Bordeaux coach stepped down following Les Bleus disappointing Euro 2012 campaign. Wenger, who is the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history, still has two years to run on his current deal at the Emirates and has no interest in the vacancy. "There are a lot of names," Wenger told Telefoot. "But me, I will be very busy with Arsenal where my contract still runs for two years." Among the top names linked to the job are Paul Le Guen and Luis Fernandez, with Marseille coach Didier Deschamps the current favourite to succeed Blanc.
