Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is prepared to wait until the Premier League season is almost over before deciding on his future.
The Frenchman's contract at the club expires in 2017, having arrived at Arsenal 20 years ago.
"I always said that I will judge where I stand in spring and make my decisions then," he told UK newspapers.
"The club is free as well. It's not because I am here a long time that I have any rights.
"We are both on the same boat."
Wenger has guided Arsenal to nine major trophies since his arrival, but the club's last Premier League title came in 2004.
"There are plenty of managers who arrived at the end of their contract. It happened to me before," Wenger said.
"I signed sometimes in March, April for longer contracts. So I don't think it's a problem."
