It’s hard to overstate Arsène Wenger’s impact on English football. During his 22-year reign as Arsenal manager, Le Professeur revolutionised the way clubs approach training and nutrition. He discovered and developed some of the greatest foreign talent ever, winning seven FA Cups and three Premier League titles in the process – including an unprecedented unbeaten season. Most importantly, he did so by playing beautiful football.

He’s a legend, basically. One of the rare football managers who are loved and respected across the world, and not just inside their own stadiums. So we’re proud to announce that the 70-year-old has joined the line-up of 2020’s Esquire Townhouse @ Your House in partnership with Breitling on Friday 16 October, to discuss his storied life and career with broadcaster Mark Chapman. He’ll also be talking about leadership and how the game has changed over the years.
