Arsene Wenger: Career
Arsene Wenger started his managerial career as assistant manager to Jean-Marc Guillou at Cannes, who played in Ligue 2 in 1983. His information regarding the opposition team’s players helped the club perform brilliantly, and he was soon signed up as manager by Nancy. They were playing in Ligue 1 then and lacked good players and effective management.
In his first season, the club finished in 12th position, but before the next season, the team faced problems that included scarcity of funds, which led the team to be demoted to Ligue 2 in his final season. In 1987, he left Nancy to join another French club, AS Monaco, and with his guidance, the team emerged as one of the strongest in the league.
His success caught the eye of Bundesliga club Bayern Munich who offered him the managerial role, but Monaco refused to let him go. However, due to poor results in the 1994 season, he was sacked and saw the downfall of French football due to match-fixing, so he decided to leave France.
He decided to go to Japan, where he started managing Nagoya Grampus Eight, who were at their worst. Wenger’s tactics helped the club win 17 out of their 27 games, and they finished as the runners-up in the 1995 J League. The following year the team won the Emperor’s Cup, and his achievements didn’t go unnoticed as midway through the 1996-97 season, English Premier League club Arsenal signed him up.
By then, Arsenal had become one of the weakest teams in the league, but in 1998, they surprised everyone by winning the 1998 FA Cup. The following season, the team performance was average, but people noticed significant changes in their play. Arsene Wenger brought about a change in the club as he paid special attention to the team’s diet and nutrition and let the players work on their strength.
He was dubbed “The Professor” by the media, and he led Arsenal to three Premier League titles, with the last of that coming in 2003-04, when they won the league undefeated. He managed Arsenal until the end of the 2017-18 season, and by that time, he had become one of the greatest managers.
