The first book by one of the most successful, respected and legendary football managers of all time, Arsene Wenger

For the first time, world-renowned football manager Arsene Wenger shares his life story, offering principles for success both on and off the field. He recounts his 22 years managing Arsenal, where he achieved unprecedented success, including multiple Premier League titles and a record number of FA Cups. Wenger’s teams, notably the Invincibles of 2003-2004, are celebrated for their attacking style and an impressive 49-match unbeaten run. Beyond tactics, he transformed British football culture, influencing attitudes toward player diet, fitness, and coaching methods, as well as perceptions of foreign managers. Wenger reflects on his remarkable career, starting with his rise in France and Japan, where he managed clubs like Nancy, Monaco, and Nagoya Grampus Eight, all donning red-and-white colors like Arsenal. He discusses the unrest leading to his resignation in 2018 and his current role with FIFA as Chief of Global Football Development. With insights into motivation, mindset, and fitness, this book is essential reading for Arsenal fans, football enthusiasts, management professionals, and anyone seeking success in life and work. It unveils the life story, strategy, and vision of one of football's most revered managers.

A man punches the wall in a strategic show of anger; another feels like a stranger to his loved ones. A third relies on “my three a day: coffee, Nurofen and a bottle of wine,” while another admits he’s an oddity who would prefer working in cricket. These are football managers, candid and unfiltered. Arsene Wenger compares the job to “living on a volcano,” speaking from his experience as the longest-serving manager in English football, having spent 17 years at Arsenal. The average lifespan of a Football League manager is just 17 months, with 53 managers sacked or resigning in the 2012-13 season and 57 changes in 2013-14. What drives these men? They are familiar figures, often revealing little about their personal and professional lives. Award-winning writer Michael Calvin explores their motivations, highlighting insecurity as a common thread, while noting that managers at different levels face unique challenges—some dealing with multi-millionaires, others with mortgage slaves. The narrative follows over 20 managers at various career stages, from those at the peak like Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez to those like Chris Hughton and Brian McDermott, who have been sacked and seek to return. Their stories provide insight into a profession often judged superficially, revealing the complexities of management that require both ruthlessness and empathy.

Dem Gegner immer einen Schritt voraus Arsène Wenger gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Fußballtrainern der Welt. 22 Jahre lang stand er an der Seitenlinie des FC Arsenal und gewann mehrere Meisterschaften und Pokalsiege. Erstmals gibt Wenger tiefgehende Einblicke in sein Leben – seine Kindheit in Frankreich, seine Anfänge als Fußballer bis hin zu seinem Abschied in England. Aber was heißt für ihn Erfolg? Wie führt er Teams? Oder wie geht er mit Niederlagen um? Was war früher anders, was war besser, aber vor allem: was bleibt? Arsène Wenger erzählt seine Autobiographie – und schöpft dabei aus den Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen seiner einzigartigen Karriere: Er gibt Auskunft darüber, welche Werte und Erfolgsprinzipien ihn zu seinen Erfolgen als Trainer geführt und zu dem Menschen gemacht haben, der er heute ist. Und er zeigt, dass ein starker Wille, Leidenschaft, harte Arbeit und Spielfreude, die sich aus Selbstvertrauen und Teamerfolg speist, nach wie vor unverzichtbar sind. Im Fußball, im Sport und darüber hinaus. Ausstattung: mit Bildteil
