Arsene wenger biography reviews

  • This book is a must-read for not only Arsenal fans but football fans everywhere, for management and business leaders, and anyone seeking the.
  • A surprisingly short book, about Wenger's childhood and playing days, are elegiac and rather moving: he grew up in Alsace, in a village with three blacksmiths.
  • One of the best soccer books I have read.

    Arsene Wenger: The Biography

    March 5, 2012
    There are of course, two things you're looking for in a biography. One - the story of the protagonist, and two, some goddamn literary merit to the writer. Rivoire is a prolific sports writer (having written too many of these biographies on everyone in the field) apparently, and that only makes me completely suspicious of him. I'd prefer my biography to be written by someone who has a personal story concerning why they chose their subject, etc.

    In the absence of all that, I'd at least expect a little flair for writing, which, I'm extremely sorry to say, is extremely lacking in Rivoire. It's a book about a man I'm increasingly fascinated by, but also a book that hardly features any quotes or anecdotes by him. I'm new to football, so parts of the history seemed too hard for me to comprehend in one go, all these names being thrown around.

    It's an okay read, I don't think anyone will be wowed by the book, I'd rather wait for Wenger's biography. At best, Arsene Wenger: The Biography is like an ill-researched private detective's sly, behind the scenes reportage; so you might just be better off reading his Wiki page.

    My Life in Red and White by Arsène Wenger, review: a wasted opportunity

    During his 22-year reign at Arsenal Football Club, manager Arsène Wenger often gave the impression of a man holding back. He sometimes lost his rag during matches, getting sent to the stands or fuming at referees, but once the red mist cleared he was rarely less than dignified. Often he could be enigmatic to the point of infuriation. When his memoir, My Life in Red and White, was announced, fans wanted the old wizard to finally settle a few scores. What did he really think of Ashley Cole’s agent? Which players betrayed him?

    Wenger’s longevity and demeanour made him more widely known than many managers. He was Le Professeur, a symbol of New Labour Britain. This radical foreigner, with his suits and economics degree, was here to make his team ready for the new millennium: fitter, more skilful and less drunk. As a result, he has done an unusual amount of promotion for the book, with dozens of media appearances, including a turn on The Graham Norton Show alongside Samuel L Jackson and Freddie Flintoff.

    Given this omnipresence, it is disappointing that My Life In Red and White feels like a wasted opportunity, a weak penalty aimed straight down the middle. It starts well enough, with elegant reflections
