Product Description
Tony Adams
"An enthralling and insightful account of this intensely private man."
Product Description
In the years since his arrival at Highbury, Arsene Wenger has made Arsenal FC double double winners and transformed the reputation of English football in general. Jasper Rees has been granted access to Wenger's friends and family, players and rival managers, to write the untold story behind this deeply private man. He follows him from childhood in Alsace, through his stints as a journeyman player, to his days as a coach at Nancy, Monaco, Grampus Eight and finally Arsenal, where with his revolutionary ideas about man-management, psychology, diet and fitness, he has turned a team of old English crocks, young French misfits and a Dutch master or two into one of the most sublime footballing teams ever seen.

Format:Hardcover
A really enjoyable, smart read. Much interesting reflection on his complete immersion in football, his years at Monaco, why on earth he went to Japan and his remarkable ability to find and nurture young talent like Weah, Petit, Henry and Trezeguet.
The Arsenal section is great. Particularly how he dealt with the paedophile rumours, his relationship with Tony Adams (from the captain's point of view) and his endearing clumsiness.

Jesper's book gives a good account of what makes Wenger tick. Interviews with ex pros give a good insight as to why Wenger sets his team out to play in a certain way. His departute from As Monaco is well explained, along with his feelings on the scandal in French football involing Marseille.
Overall an excellent book.
Overall an excellent book.
Format:Paperback
This is the result of numerous interviews the author conducted alongside much research. The result is particularly interesting picture of Wenger's growth and development, particularly the impact of German football on his thinking. Its less enlightening on the more recent Wenger, and the last chapter discussing his relationship (or lack of) with Ferguson didnt hit the mark for me. Still, good book on a top coach.
