Arsene Wenger: The Authorised Biography

Sags a bit in the middle where repetitive similar compliments are offered to Arsene Wenger by a variety of figures in the soccer world. Other than that, it was very enthralling. I have followed English soccer most of my life and have utmost respect for what he has done at Arsenal.The book covers his early history, which itself was compelling reading and also his time in japan which I found to hard to put the book down. The book covers his time at Arsenal up until about 2008.This is a very well written book about a fascinating man, and is well worth reading!

One of the best soccer books I have read. Although I wish it was an autobiography, the author does a great job portraying Wenger. Never a dull moment, the book goes through many of Wenger's accomplishments as a coach in development in France, all the way to his Arsenal days. At each stage the author captures the changes that Wenger goes through and how they have shaped him to be one of the premier coaches in Europe ! I have always been an admirer of Wenger and now after reading this book I have even MORE respect for him. Also, there are so many references to many of the best players that Wenger has taken under his wing; even if you aren't an Arsenal fan, those references alone make this a good read !

This book starts out strong giving great insight into the young life of one of the arguably best coaches in the sport. It shows who he learned under and what influenced him to develop his philosophies of the game and anything surrounding it. Especially the section about his time in Japan and the lessons he learned there is very interesting. The second half of the book slows down quite a bit describing his time at the Gunners. It seem as if the author added a lot of fluff just to increase the total page number. Either way, for anyone interested in Arsene Wenger's unique approach to coaching, which many have now adopted in modern football, it's a must read!

It was a birthday gift to my friend and as he was an Arsenal fan, he loved the book. He is also a fan of Arsene Wenger.

Really interesting book. Еnjoy reading. For all people who is interesting in Arsene Wenger personality. His way to the top.

Fast delivery and amazing product! Exactly what I wanted.

Very enjoyable book about a great manager.

I love Arsene Wenger. I love what he's done with my beloved Arsenal, love the football we've produced (through good and not so good years) so it was a real pleasure for me to read about this usually very private man's life. I've enjoyed this book immensely, and can't wait until it is updated sometime in the (hopefully) near future, Good luck Arsene, the real Arsenal fans will always be behind you.

I feel like when you read a biography, you want more of the gritty details. The author did a good job but fell short of the real information were Wenger to write it himself. Good try though. From the beginning upto 1st few years at Arsenal, I was gripped. Then, book just got boring!

Xavier Rivoire, gets right to the heart of his fellow Frenchman, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in this well written biography. If your not an Arsenal fan, but are interested in how managers work, this book is as good as any on the Gunners boss.

great delivery service and quality.... thank you

I downloaded this only to find it is not a a book by Rivoire at all. It is a totally different biography of Arsene Wenger by Tom Oldfield. What can I do? I need the Rivoire book urgently.
