Playing Career

The local third-level team Mutzig hired Wenger in 1969. Max Hild, who would later become Wenger’s mentor, and became known for playing the “best amateur football” in Alsace, supervised the team.

He began playing football for Mulhouse in 1973, managing his studies with his career as a semi-professional. A year later, Wenger earned his degree in economics. He was chosen to travel to Nigeria, Lebanon, and Uruguay, the sites of the 1976 World Students Championship, as a representative of the French national student team. By the time the trip was up, Arsène had practically become the team joker and assistant coach together.

Wenger, who frequently played on the right, was a midfield player for Mulhouse. The team defeated Nancy in the final game of the 1974–75 season to avoid demotion, but Frantz left the team soon after. Wenger also decided to go since he was overwhelmed by the daily trips from Strasbourg to Mulhouse.

Many French coaches were pleased by Wenger's leadership skills at Strasbourg, and in 1983, he moved to Ligue 2 club Cannes to work as Jean-Marc Guillou's assistant. Nancy's disappointing performance in the bottom part of the standings proved to be an illusion, as the team placed 18th in the 1985–86 campaign and needed to win a playoff game to stay in the league. They defeated Mulhouse 3–2 on aggregate to keep their league status.

 Arsène Wenger best Quotes

Speaking in October 1996

“You can never escape the history of a club like this. At some clubs, success is accidental sometimes - but at Arsenal, it is compulsory.”

Start to the 2002/03 season

“A football club is like an iceberg. You only see a little part of it, which is the football team. But beneath that little bit is a tremendous amount of work at other levels - and that includes a huge contribution to the community.”

Speaking in January 2003

“I’m very grateful for the honor and I’m grateful to England for creating the sport. I don’t know what I would do without it.”

Writing during the Highbury era, in May 2006

“You want people to wake up in the morning and think, I’m going to watch Arsenal today - I will enjoy it.’ The priority is to get people happy and you can do that by winning - and trying to do that with style. Winning ugly is not a long-term philosophy. You have to give something more to develop the game.”

Speaking about the importance of team spirit

“The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who, at the start, we would have judged crazy. And yet, if they’d not had these crazy ideas, the world would have been more stupid.”
