This is the very first biography of Arsene Wenger - the studious Frenchman who has modernised English football.
George Graham gave Arsenal Football Club success, confidence and six trophies. A tough act to follow. But Wenger has proved to be the right man in the right place at the right time. For five fascinating years the tall Frenchman has brought a warm presence and a detached intelligence to a difficult job. He has proved to be a superb scientific fitness coach, a charming diplomat, a brilliant man-manger and a perceptive talent scout. Listening to Arsene Wenger is an education in football.
In this book, Myles Palmer provides a compelling analysis of Wenger's character, his dynamic football ideas, his holistic training methods at Monaco and his audacious career move to Japan. Palmer believes that Wenger lives for his team and through his team, and has revealed his philosophy by the players he has bought and sold and nurtured.
