Soccer-Wenger focused on victory over Monaco, not nostalgia

Arsene Wenger had little time for a nostalgic look back to the start of his coaching career with AS Monaco on Tuesday before his former club meet his Arsenal side with a place in the Champions League quarter-finals awaiting the winners. The Frenchman made his name at Monaco between 1987 and 1994, leading them to the French title, the French Cup and to a place in the final of the 1992 European Cup Winners' Cup which they lost to Werder Bremen. He then went to Nagoya Grampus Eight in Japan before taking over at Arsenal in 1996 and was unemotional about his time with Monaco when he spoke before Wednesday's first leg of their last-16 tie. "I am happy that Monaco is back at the top level, for the rest I am for 18 years the manager of Arsenal Football Club and focused on just qualifying for the quarter-finals, against a good side," Wenger said.
