Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out leaving the club to succeed Laurent Blanc as France coach.

Blanc stepped down last week following a disappointing Euro 2012 campaign and Wenger has emerged as one of the early favourites with bookmakers to be next in charge of Les Bleus.

But the Gunners boss insists he has no plans to leave Emirates Stadium, and is already looking ahead to the 2012-13 Premier League campaign.

"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."

Marseille coach Didier Deschamps is the current favourite to succeed Blanc.
