Born on October 22, 1949 in
Strasbourg, Bas-Rhin, France, Arsene sold his soul to Arsenal since 1996.
He was earlier rejected by AC
Milan with the complaint that he looked like a schoolmaster and has since
gained the nickname "Le Professeur" in England.
He was appointed by David
Dain to be Gunner's boss after a move from AS Monaco. He led Arsenal to a
Premier league victory in his first season as boss. Under his helm, the Gunners
have earned three FA Premier league titles; 1998, 2002, 2004 respectively.
He is lauded for his love for
football, and about him Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houlier said “Arsene Wenger has the ability to eat, talk, sleep and
drink football, and then come back for more.”
He has a daughter with former
basketballer Annie Brosterhous, speaks English, French, German and a bit of
Japanese, Italian, and Spanish.
He is reputed as having an
eye for talent, nurtures them and is the first coach to lead his club through a
Premier League season unbeaten.
And in this season's
competition, however, the Gunners has sucked up more defeats than their pockets
can carry, including a disgraceful 3-2 loss to Stoke last Saturday.
As Arsene Wenger suffers boos
and insults from fans, who wish him out of Arsenal's helm anyway, it is hoped
(read: rumoured) that the Gunner's boss will not chicken out of his long-held office
after this Premier League season.
Or what do you think?
