#5 Arsene Wenger steps down after 22 years in charge

Arsene Wenger Arsenal — Arsenal presented Arsene Wenger with the 'Invincibles' trophy - to keep!

Before Arsene Wenger arrived at Arsenal, the Gunners were a club that bounced up and down the table with limited success. They had their highs and lows over many decades but what Le Professeur brought was a level of consistency.

Indeed, in Wenger's reign, the club has never finished below sixth. Look at his first 20 years and they have always finished in the top four and qualified for the Champions League despite their rivals outspending the financially stricken club following their move to the Emirates Stadium.

And what Wenger brought was his own brand of football that elevated "Boring, boring Arsenal" to the pinnacle of beautiful football in England. The unbeaten run of 49 games which included an Invincibles season was easily the highlight of his career.

Although the last two years have been rough with Wenger falling behind his rivals, the club and its fans will forever be indebted to him for his contributions. And the Premier League will always remember him for the man who broke the glass ceiling for foreign managers to thrive in England.
