It won’t be the same without him.
He has become as synonimous with the club as Herbert Chapman, the famous red and white strip, and the cannon on their crest. Arsenal without Arsene Wenger just doesn’t seem right at all.
Since he first walked through the door at Highbury on 22 September 1996, following a stint in Japan with Nagoya Grampus, Wenger has revolutionised the North London club – and English football.
At his first press conference, he told reporters: “The main reason for coming is that I love English football, the roots of the game are here. I like the spirit round the game and at Arsenal I like the spirit of the club and its potential.”
Three league titles, six FA Cups, and six Community Shields later, he has made Arsenal famous around the world as a football brand epitomising integrity, stylish football and colourful support.
But according to Ian Wright, who met with Wenger on Thursday night, the legendary manager has confirmed that his tenure at the helm is “coming to an end”.
Wright explained: “I think that’s it. He actually mentioned whilst we were talking last night that it’s coming to an end. I’ve never heard him say that.”
Say it ain’t so…
