Arsène Wenger on leaving #AFC: “In life there are some break-ups that you choose and some that are mandatory. In this case it was a bit of a mix of the two...the fans needed a change and in my last season I started suffering health wise.”

Arsène: "You're loved when you're born, you're loved when you die, in between you have to manage."

Arsène: “A coach is someone who totally identifies with his club. He must behave as if he will stay there forever. He must be loyal. Every year I took a photo with everyone at #AFC (gardener, cook) and I displayed it with a phrase "everyone counts inside the club".”

Arsène: “I will be an Arsenal fan until my last breath. All I want is for the club to be doing well. We are doing alright so far.”

Arsène: “When I die and meet God, and before choosing between Hell and Paradise, I will ask him where all the refs are.”

Arsène: “A characteristic of a good coach is taking care of himself. This is the approach I am following right now. I was so immersed in the game that I ended up neglecting the people around me [his family]. I dedicated my whole life for one thing: The next game.”

Arsène on saying goodbye to #AFC: “I felt like I was attending my first class funeral. People have been extraordinary. They showed gratitude. England has that. I did not cry or flinch because I learned to shield myself. If I did not master my passion, I could not have survived.”
