Football genius, leadership lessons, Arsenal history firsthand

This is the kind of sports memoir that feels thoughtful rather than boastful, with Wenger reflecting on how he built teams, handled pressure, and changed English football from the inside. Arsenal fans will love the behind-the-scenes stories, but even if you are not devoted to the club, the book stands out for its calm intelligence and sharp ideas about discipline, vision, and long-term success.

Description

For the very first time, world-renowned football manager Arsène Wenger tells his own story. He shares his life, principles for success on and off the field, lessons on leadership, and vivid tales of his 22 years guiding Arsenal to unprecedented success. There he won multiple Premier League titles and a record number of FA Cups, and his teams included the Invincibles of 2003–04 and a record-breaking undefeated 49-match run. He popularised an attacking style and the belief that football should be entertaining, while also changing attitudes toward players' diet, fitness, and coaching methods—and toward foreign managers as well. In My Life in Red and White, Wenger traces his extraordinary career, from his rise in France and Japan (where he managed Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight, clubs that also wear red and white like Arsenal) to his 22 years at Arsenal from 1996 onward. He describes the unrest that led to his resignation in 2018 and his current role as Chief of Global Football Development for FIFA. He offers thoughtful reflections on the game and his groundbreaking approach to motivation, mindset, fitness and strategy that fans have often found beautiful to watch. This book is a must-read not only for Arsenal fans but for football fans everywhere, for managers and business leaders, and for anyone seeking tools for success in work and life. It will illuminate the mystique surrounding one of the most revered and successful managers in the world of football.
