5 reasons why Arsene Wenger is the perfect manager to replace Lopetegui at Real Madrid

#2 Contrary to belief, he is a really great manager

Wenger is the most successful coach in Arsenal's history

As stated earlier, Wenger was once highly revered in management. His tactical revolution was a breath of fresh air to the then stoic Premier League, while he was one of the first high profile coaches to insist on players maintaining diet routines to keep themselves in prime condition. A practice which is now common worldwide.

Wenger fell off the radar due to his underperformances with Arsenal in his last years at the helm, but this was through no fault of his, as he could only work with average talents at best, and it is impossible to remain competitive in today's money dominated game on a shoestring budget.

The Frenchman, however, deserves immense credit for his achievements with Arsenal, as despite the restrictions, he was still able to guide the club to continuously qualify for the Champions League at the expense of other clubs possessing more quality players.

An oft also forgotten fact is just how good Wenger was when he had access to truly world class players in all departments of the squad which was the case in his early years in charge of Arsenal.

Managing talents such as Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Viera, Robert Pires and Cesc Fabregas but to name a few, Arsene was able to forge Arsenal into one of the best teams on the continent.

At Real Madrid, Wenger would once more have access to elite footballers who are among the best in their respective positions, and this is an ideal proposition, as in the past Wenger has shown that he has the requisite know-how to get the best of such players.
