About this audiobook
There is only one Arsène Wenger - and for the very first time, in his own words, this is his story.
'A surprising honest self-portrait of an obsessive, driven man, who decided that the game really could be beautiful, and was prepared to sacrifice himself for that belief' TLS
In this definitive autobiography, the world-renowned, revolutionary football manager discusses his life and career, sharing his leadership principles for success on and off the field. At Arsenal, Wenger won multiple Premier League titles, a record number of FA Cups, and masterminded the historic 'Invincibles' season of 2003-2004. He changed the game in England forever, popularising an attacking approach and changing attitudes towards nutrition, fitness and coaching methods - and towards foreign managers. The book charts his extraordinary career, from his rise in France and Japan where he managed Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight - clubs that also play in red and white - to his twenty-two years at the helm in north London.

Loved it, light on details however during what us fans saw as controversial periods during his reign. Class act to the end.

He is my inspiration in life. He has taught me how to be humble, respectable and loyal. Love him to bits. #OneArseneWenger
