Walter Mazzarri has revealed his admiration for the way Arsene Wenger has managed Arsenal for almost 20 years.
The Frenchman's 20th anniversary at the club comes in October, and will serve as a reminder of what a rarity such a reign is in modern football and how the demanding industry's culture has changed.
Wenger has survived periods of significant pressure, largely because of Arsenal's faith in his abilities, while numerous managerial colleagues have been sacked after routine but poor short-term results.
English clubs' pursuit of instant success has become similar to the Italian culture with which Mazzarri is more familiar.
