Product Description

Arsene Wenger is credited with revolutionising one of the biggest clubs in Europe - famously bringing free-flowing football to 'boring, boring Arsenal' - and with influencing approaches to the modern game. In an industry of disposable contracts and ruthless sacking, his twelve year tenure is testament to his success and dedication, and to the loyalty of players and fans. Wenger has said he is far too young to write his autobiography. Instead, he has cooperated with leading sports journalist Xavier Rivoire in this new authorised and definitive biography, which includes exclusive interviews with Wenger, ex and current players, family, colleagues and observers, across Japan, France and England. The result is a highly readable portrait of an astute and incisive manager, a shrewd talent scout and man manager, as well as an intensely private and intriguing man.

A Football Great
As a fan/supporter of Arsenal this book about The Professor is a very good read. The author has portrayed Arsene Wenger with what I think is a truthful account, it covers him from an early age up to the present, and leaves you in no doubts about what he has achieved in his career - I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and have no hesitation in recommending it.
