On Monday, Wenger was back at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium for the first time in over four years to watch the team play.
Arsène Wenger’s departure from Arsenal as the club’s manager in 2018 was bittersweet. He is the longest serving manager still in the English Premier League, but stepped down after 22 years in charge with a disgruntled section of fans unhappy that Arsenal had been unable to win the league title since the 2003/04 season. Invited by Arsenal, the 73-year-old Frenchman watched from the club’s directors’ box as the Premier League leaders came from behind to beat West Ham United 3-1.
Nicknamed the “Professor” – Wenger has a degree in economics – the Frenchman also played a pivotal role in the building of Arsenal’s new training ground and the move from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium in 2006. It was under Wenger that Arsenal won the Premier League title in 1998, 2002, and 2004 and clinched seven FA Cups. Arsenal won the league and FA Cup Double in 1998 and 2002.
