1996 hatte der damals noch weitgehend unbekannte Wenger das Amt des Cheftrainers bei den Gunners übernommen. Der Franzose etablierte die Londoner, bei denen der Schweizer Internationale Granit Xhaka unter Vertrag steht, in den folgenden Jahren in den Top 5 der Premier-League-Klubs. Er wurde mit dem Klub drei Mal englischer Meister und sieben Mal Cupsieger. Nun endet eine 22-jährige Ära.

Arsene Wenger built the best teams that I played against in English Football .The 98 team was Amazing.The biggest compliment is that he played football that made us change the way we played against them. He now deserves the most incredible send off from all in the coming weeks.

Arsene Wenger is to leave @Arsenal at the end of the season. He has given much of his life to Arsenal. He has brought much success to the club. He has given much to the game of football in our country. Merci et bonne chance, Monsieur Wenger. #Wenger

Seit geraumer Zeit forderten verärgerte Arsenal-Fans unter dem Hashtag #WengerOut den Rücktritt des Franzosen. Nun sind unter dem selben Hashtag Schock, Trauer und Respekt zu lesen. Aber auch immer noch viel Häme.
The hashtag finally becomes a reality. #WengerOut

No matter how many times I’ve tweeted #WengerOut. The sadness I’m feeling right now...I genuinely feel like shit. Mums life, I’m holding back tears. I feel like I’ve lost a grandparent.

Arsene Wenger, the man who gave us two doubles, the Invincibles, winning the league at WHL, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires. This is 100 per cent the right decision for him and for Arsenal, but it still leaves me feeling a bit numb. Thank you Arsene. pic.twitter.com/CI2XuFc7pf
