Arsene Wenger has had a huge effect on a number of players during his 22-year reign…
One of Arsene Wenger’s main qualities has always been his man-management skills, especially for the younger players and his ability to create an atmosphere for them to blossom.
During his Arsenal tenure, there are literally hundreds of players who owe their careers to the Frenchman given the platform he gave them.
While some may have chosen to further their careers elsewhere, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t accept the role Wenger played in their lives – both on and off the pitch.
Tributes have flown in for the boss as he announced his decision to resign at the end of the season, and there seems to be a trend emerging as each former player posts their individual message on social media.
Not only are his qualities as a football manager being celebrated, but we’re starting to see how Arsene Wenger the man was viewed by many of his former players.
Check out some of the best posts from a few ex-players below:
