Arsenal long-time coach will stop his career with an extensive list of trophies.

Wenger won three Premier League title (1998, 2002, 2004), Seven FA Cup (1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2014, 2015, 2017) and seven Community Shield (1998, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2014, 2015, 2017).

He led his team to a record 49 games undefeated over two seasons and the team earned the nickname of “The Invincibles”. He has coached Arsenal 1228 times and won 704 games with the club. 

5 players have scored over 100 goals for Arsenal under his tenure. The most famous of all is club legend Thierry Henry (175), but also Robin van Persie (132), Theo Walcott (108), Olivier Giroud (105) and Dennis Bergkamp (102). 

Arsene Wenger in his own words:

“After careful consideration and following discussions with the club, I feel it is the right time for me to step down at the end of the season. I am grateful for having had the privilege to serve the club for so many memorable years.
 
I managed the club with full commitment and integrity. I want to thank the staff, the players, the Directors and the fans who make this club so special. I urge our fans to stand behind the team to finish on a high. To all the Arsenal lovers take care of the values of the club. My love and support forever.” 

Majority Owner Stan Kroenke comments:

“This is one of the most difficult days we have ever had in all our years in sport. One of the main reasons we got involved with Arsenal was because of what Arsène has brought to the club on and off the pitch. His longevity and consistency over such a sustained period at the highest level of the game will never be matched.

Arsène has unparalleled class and we will always be grateful to him. Everyone who loves Arsenal and everyone who loves football owes him a debt of gratitude. Three Premier League titles, including an entire season unbeaten, seven FA Cup triumphs and 20 successive years in the Champions League is an exceptional record. He has also transformed the identity of our club and of English football with his vision for how the game can be played. 

We have high ambitions to build on Arsène’s remarkable tenure and to honur his vision by ensuring that Arsenal competes for and wins the biggest and most important prizes in the game. 

We must now focus on making a strong finish to the season and ask our millions of fans around the world to join us in paying appropriate tribute to one of the greats of Arsenal’s history and one of the greats of the game.”
