Arsenal unveil Arsene Wenger statute outside the Emirates Stadium to commemorate the iconic manager's 22-year tenure at the club

Arsenal have unveiled a statute of their former manager Arsene Wenger to commemorate his 22-years in charge at the football club.

The Frenchman is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches to have graced the Premier League, overseeing 1,235 games as the Gunners boss, during which time he won three league titles and an incredible seven FA Cups.

The 73-year-old was appointed as the club's manager in October 1996 and oversaw his first full season a year later in 1997-89, where he became the first non-British football manager to win the Premier League, notably winning the FA Cup the same season.
