Arsène Wenger - Arsenal’s Cosmopolitan and Erudite
Manager
“Wenger has spoken
of his fear of death and of his desire to lose himself in work, always work. “The
only possible moment of happiness is the present,” he told L’Équipe in a recent
interview. “The past gives you regrets. And the future uncertainties. Man
understood this very fast and created religion.” In the same interview –
perhaps his most fascinating – Wenger described himself as a facilitator who
enables “others to express what they have within them”. He wants his teams to
play beautifully. “My never-ending struggle in this business is to release what
is beautiful in man.”
