About this listen

There is only one Arsène Wenger - and for the very first time, in his own words, this is his story.

In this definitive autobiography, the world-renowned, revolutionary football manager discusses his life and career, sharing his leadership principles for success on and off the field. At Arsenal, Wenger won multiple Premier League titles, a record number of FA Cups, and masterminded the historic 'Invincibles' season of 2003-2004. He changed the game in England forever, popularising an attacking approach and changing attitudes towards nutrition, fitness and coaching methods - and towards foreign managers. The book charts his extraordinary career, from his rise in France and Japan where he managed Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight - clubs that also play in red-and-white - to his twenty-two years at the helm in north London.

A must-listen not only for Arsenal supporters but football fans everywhere, My Life in Red and White illuminates the mystique surrounding one of the most respected managers in the world's most popular sport.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Enthralling but wanted more

Perhaps that's the sign of a good book. At 6hrs 40mins the book is roughly split 50/50 between pre-Arsenal, and 1996 onwards. With 18 years at N4, I'm sure 7 hours or Arsenal-only chat wouldn't have been a stretch. It felt like there was more to give here: not one mention of Mourinho, not much insight into Fergie battles. But still a must read for lovers of the Prem in the Carling and Barclays era.

Rare breed of a gentlemen

Great insight to his thoughts.
His absolute loyalty, how he reflects, immense desire to win and class class class.
Build him a statue! He deserves it!

Arsene is a great coach, but book lacks stories

While I really appreciate Arsene as a coach and a human being, I feel this book, especially once the topic of Arsenal is brought up, lacks stories and anecdotes.
While the earlier chapters do a better job at that, I feel he still might be too close to people at Arsenal for him to be completely be open about his time and share some of the stuff he experienced behind the scenes.
Having said that, it still is nice to hear him reflect on his career...I hope one day he'll speak more openly about some of the amazing stories he must have lived through during those 22 years.

Only scratches the surface....

Arsene sounds like he's reading stats rather than telling us the full story of what must have been a tumultuous career. There's a much deeper story somewhere here, maybe it'll take a good and trusted biographer to get it from him. Nothing on Mourinho, very little on Fergie, only a superficial run down on the players themselves. A missed opportunity.

Not So Boring Arsenal

Arsene is a decent person. It would have been a challenge to make The Arsenal FC interesting (joke).
