An immensely proud Arsene Wenger targeted Premier League glory after guiding Arsenal to a record-breaking 12th FA Cup win.
Wenger's side ripped Aston Villa apart at Wembley on Saturday to retain the oldest knockout trophy in football.
Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud found the net as Arsenal recorded the biggest win in an FA Cup final since 1994.
Wenger may have had has critics over the second half of his 19-year Arsenal reign, but he is now only foreign manager to have won the FA Cup six times.
The only other man to have achieved that feat is George Ramsay, who managed Villa from 1884-1926.
"I am very proud of that," the Arsenal manager said.
"If it has not been done [since then], it shows it is not easy and all of us want to achieve things that are difficult. For the club it is great, we won it 12 times, more than any club. Personally I managed in seven finals and we won six."

Wenger has improved Arsenal's standing in the league this season, finishing third to guarantee direct entry into the Champions League.
The Arsenal boss hopes the momentum gained from this emphatic win will help his team finish two places higher next season.
"I think of course we can push on," he said.
"Why not? We have won the league in the past when we had the potential to do it and that is what we want to do again."
Giroud has led the line for most of the season, but was named on the bench on Saturday.
Wenger started with Walcott after he scored a hat-trick against West Brom last week and the England international repaid him in fine fashion, putting the Gunners ahead with an opportunistic finish in the 40th minute.
"I had to make some big decisions today," the Frenchman said when asked about Walcott's inclusion ahead of Giroud.
"I thought the pace would be a problem for them. They play high and we had the combined pace of Sanchez and Walcott but it was for us to dominate the midfield and use our strikers. I knew if we were able to do that we would be dangerous."
With just 12 months left on Walcott's contract, his future at the club is in doubt.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Liverpool, but Wenger wants him to stay.
"I don't see why he should not be here next season," Wenger said.
"He is a player who was out for a year (through injury) and it took him a while to come back to his best and I think he is now at an age when it is very interesting.
"He has experience and is at his peak physically. It is the time to stay with us."
Meanwhile, Villa boss Tim Sherwood was left feeling sick to the stomach at the result.
"I feel sick and so do the boys in there," Sherwood said.
"You can only know how good winning feels when you have to walk around watching a team hold the cup.
"They deserved to win the game, no arguments about that. It was quite obvious that they had their own way today and dominated the match.
"They have got outstanding world-class footballers and we couldn't nullify their threat or impose ourselves. We were outplayed by a far better team."
