There will only ever be one Arsène Wenger

I cried when they announced Arsène Wenger was leaving Arsenal. I sobbed actually. Real, big, proper tears.

There will only ever be one Arsène Wenger.

He brought class, flair and trophies to my beloved Arsenal. His contribution and service will never be forgotten.

He also left an indelible mark on my own development as a leader.

He didn’t do things in the typical way and was fiercely competitive but cared about his impact on people.

Just a tiny sample of my favorite Wenger quotes:

“I believe one of the best things about managing people is that we can influence lives in a positive way. That's basically what a manager is about. When I can do that, I am very happy.”

“I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art.”
