'...a well organised, entertaining book and the perfect gift for all Arsenal fans' Ernest Hecht, Observer Sports Monthly 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. 'Insightful ...a useful guide to what makes the idiosyncratic Wenger tick. 'My friends have read this book and liked it so it must be good' Arsene Wenger Xavier Rivoire is a leading football correspondent with French television. For 10 years he was the London based correspondent for L'Equipe. He is the author of several titles including the bestselling Robert Pires Footballeur (2003)
