Arsene Wenger

Arsène Wenger OBE is a French football manager who, as of July 2009, is currently the manager of Arsenal FC and has been since 1996. He has coached Arsenal through more matches than any other Arsenal manager in history and is Arsenal's most successful manager in terms of trophies. Wenger is also the only non-British, English football manager to have won the Double (1998, and again in 2002) and is the only manager in Premier League history to have an entirely undefeated season (2004). In 2006, Wenger was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.
