Arsene Wenger Marks 20 Years at Arsenal Thursday Sep 22,2016

Arsene Wenger is celebrating 20 years since he was unveiled as Arsenal manager on Thursday Sep 22,2016


When Arsenal sacked Bruce Rioch in the summer of 1996, the first name on everyone's lips as the potential successor was the legendary Johan Cruyff.

It proved a non-starter, Cruyff didn't want a manager's job at the time and in any case Arsenal's most influential director David Dein had set his eyes on a largely unknown Frenchman who was working in Japan, Arsene Wenger.

Arsene Wenger has not won the amount of trophies that Sir Alex Ferguson collected or the European triumphs of a Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola or Carlo Ancelotti, but in 20 years he has revolutionised English football. And English football being the market leader for any club football, the impact has been astounding.
