Mfaransa huyo amekuwa meneja wa Arsenal kwa miaka 21 sasa.
Wenger na mmiliki wa klabu hiyo Stan Kroenke walikutana Jumatatu kuamua hatima ya meneja huyo, na kisha uamuzi wao ukawasilishwa kwa mkutano wa bodi Jumanne.
Arsenal wanapanga kutangaza rasmi uamuzi huo Jumatano.
Gunners walimaliza Ligi ya Premia wakwia nafasi ya tano, mara yao ya kwanza kumaliza chini ya nafasi ya nne tangu Wenger alipojiunga nao mwaka 1996.
Walimaliza alama 18 nyuma ya mabingwa Chelsea, lakini walifanikiwa kuwachapa Blues katika fainali ya Kombe la FA uwanjani Wembley Jumamosi.
Mkataba wa Wenger ulikuwa unamalizika mwishoni mwa msimu huu.
Wenger aliongoza Gunners kushinda mataji matatu ya Ligi ya Premia na pia vikombe vinne vya FA misimu yake tisa ya kwanza kwenye usukani.
Mwaka 2003-04, aliibuka meneja wa kwanza tangu 1888-89 kuongoza timu iliyomaliza ligi kuu bila kushindwa.
Lakini baada ya kushinda Kombe la FA mwaka 2005, walisubiri kwa miaka mingine tisa - sawa na siku 3,283, kabla ya kushinda kikombe kingine.
Walilaza Hull City fainali ya Kombe la FA mwaka 2014 na kisha wakashinda kikombe hicho tena mwaka uliofuata.
Baadhi ya mashabiki wa Arsenal wamekuwa wakimtaka Mfaransa huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 67 ajiuzulu, hasa baada ya matokeo mabaya msimu huu. Shutuma zaidi zilitolewa waliposhindwa kwa jumla ya mabao 10-2 na Bayern Munich katika hatua ya 16 bora Ligi ya Klabu Bingwa Ulaya mwezi Machi.
Walimaliza msimu wakiwa wameshinda mechi tano mfululizo, lakini matokeo hayo hayakutosha kuwawezesha kuwapita Liverpool waliomaliza nafasi ya nne na kujaza nafasi ya mwisho ya kucheza Ligi ya Klabu Bingwa Ulaya.
Jumamosi, Wenger aliambia BBC kwamba shutuma na uokosoaji aliokumbana nao msimu.
========
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has agreed a new two-year contract, extending his 21-year reign at the club.
Wenger and club owner Stan Kroenke met on Monday to determine the Frenchman's future, with the decision relayed to directors at a Tuesday board meeting.
Arsenal are planning to make an official announcement on Wednesday.
The Gunners were fifth in the Premier League this season, the first time they have finished outside the top four since the Frenchman joined in 1996.
They finished 18 points behind champions Chelsea, but beat the Blues to win the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.
Wenger's contract was set to finish at the end of the current campaign.
He led the Gunners to three Premier League titles and four FA Cups in his first nine seasons in charge.
In 2003-04, he became the first manager since 1888-89 to lead a team through an entire top-flight season unbeaten.
But after winning the 2005 FA Cup, they had to wait another nine years - or 3,283 days - for their next silverware. It came as they beat Hull City to win the 2014 FA Cup, before winning the trophy again the following year.
Some Gunners fans turned on the 67-year-old Frenchman as a result of their league performances and they lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16 in March.
They finished the league season with five successive victories, but it was not enough to carry them above Liverpool to take the fourth and final Champions League spot.
Wenger told BBC's Football Focus on Saturday that the criticism he has faced this season is "a disgrace" he will "never forget".
