    Arsene Wenger, former Arsenal manager and FIFA head of global development

    Arsene Wenger is a manager who revolutionised soccer by introducing new levels of fitness and technique to his teams. Now in a global development role with FIFA, here's his long and successful story.

    Arsene Wenger is a soccer coach and consultant, widely accepted to have modernised Arsenal FC and established the Gunners as one of the Premier League's Big Six.

    The Frenchman had a modest playing career with Mulhouse and Strasbourg, however it was in management where he discovered his true calling. He learned his craft at Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight in Japan, but it was at Arsenal where he made the most impact. Between 1996 and 2018, Wenger became the club's most successful and longest-serving manager ever.
    The team known as "The Invincibles", the Arsenal team Wenger assembled in 2003/04 is one of the greatest sides in Premier League history. "The Invincibles" are known by that name as they went an entire season unbeaten. Their 49-game unbeaten run finally came to an end against Manchester United on October 24, 2004.
    After leaving Arsenal, Wenger was appointed head of global football development at world football's governing body FIFA. Wenger remains one of the most well-respected figures in the game.
