Arsene Wenger has had a major impact on English football, bringing detached intelligence and success to Arsenal and blazing a trail for other foreign coaches to come to England. He has proved to be a superb scientific coach, a charming diplomat, a brilliant man-manager and a perceptive talent scout. His team won the Premiership and FA Cup double in 1998, built a luxurious new training ground, signed world-class players and gave the club new horizons.
