Director Arsene Wenger. He is Arsenal’s legendary leader.
Considered one of the best managers in Arsenal’s history, he is also the longest-serving manager in Arsenal’s history, holding the Arsenal helm for 22 years from 1996 to 2018.
Wenger’s Arsenal reigned as the strongest player in the English Premier League. He has won 3 Premier League titles and먹튀검증7 FA Cup titles. In particular, in the 2003-04 season, they recorded 26 wins and 12 draws, achieving the first undefeated championship in the Premier League. Since Wenger’s departure, Arsenal have never reached the top of the league.
An incident occurred that would forever ‘lament’ such a famous manager, Wenger. It was exactly 20 years ago.
In 2003, Arsenal pushed for the signing of a 16-year-old striker. He was a member of the youth team of Barcelona, Spain. Francis Caggio, who was an Arsenal scout, vividly conveyed the situation at the time through Spain’s ‘As’.
Arsenal fell in love with the 16-year-old striker’s potential and made him a target. Actually, Kagigao had been watching him since a year ago when he was 15 years old. He was already a player on a different level from his peers. I was sure.
Arsenal met with Barcelona several times to coordinate the details of the striker’s signing. The athlete’s representative also met and talked several times. The plan was for him to wear an Arsenal shirt before making his debut for the Barcelona first team.
but in the end it failed The reason was the UK’s demanding work permit (work permit) issuance. At the time, it was impossible for the player to obtain a British work permit. Arsenal’s hopes were dashed. Wenger lamented not being able to bring him back.
A year after Arsenal failed to sign him, he made his Barcelona first-team debut.
