Yeah! That is Le Boss. Longest serving Arsenal Manager!
Wenger, who broke George Allison's record of 4,748 days at the helm - from June, 1934, to May, 1947 - became the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history on Thursday
Wenger said of his arrival at Arsenal, "Yes, it was a big gamble. When I think retrospectively, that is the biggest surprise to me. At that time what Arsenal did you needed to be a little bit crazy. Crazy in the sense that I had no name, I was foreign, there was no history. They needed to be brave.
"First I had to convince people I had the needed quality to do the job. I am still trying to do that. It has not changed. It is difficult to put into context today because when every foreign manager comes in, it is the red carpet for him."
Well done, Wenger!

old red nose has paid tribute to Wenger. He said that long serving managers like him and Wenger are why clubs will win titles. And he believes that Wenger is a manager that Arsenal will forever be indebted to in transforming Arsenal into a major force.
And amazingly, even Blackburn manager, Big Sam who has had many a public argument with Wenger has put in his congratulations to Le Boss.
looks like Wenger has won over many enemies over the years....
Well done Wenger!!!
