With what the Spaniard have achieved at Arsenal over the past few seasons is amazing and it is easy to see why so many have tipped him to become the next big boss in the game.

It is also easy to see why Madrid really want him – but his long-term plans are with ARSENAL – so unless they sack him- he is going nowhere and the Gunners fans can expect to see him in that dugout for a very long-time.
