Arsene Wenger will lift the lid on his career at Arsenal next year when his first ever autobiography is released.
The Frenchman has long been linked with book deals that would see him explain the inner workings of his 22 years at Arsenal.
And it was announced this morning by publisher Weidenfeld and Nicolson that Wenger will reveal all next year after agreeing to publish his autobiography.
The book, titled ‘My Life in Red and White’, will be released in the autumn of next year and is Wenger’s first autobiography.
Publishers Weidenfeld and Nicolson explained in a statement this morning that they had acquired the UK and Commonwealth rights to the book alongside Hachette sister company JC Lattes, who acquired world all language rights directly from Wenger.
The Frenchman is expected to discuss his life as “one of the greatest and most influential coaches and managers of modern times", including his time as the longest-serving manager of Arsenal.
“Arsene Wenger is the man who changed the entire face of football in this country,” Alan Samson, chairman & publisher of Weidenfeld & Nicolson.
“He is a revolutionary manager whose influence, not only at Arsenal for an amazing 22 years but also on the national game, has been profound.
“He altered the habits of players yet far more significantly he opened our eyes and broadened our minds. For more than two decades he brought to the Premier League as much vivid colour and excitement as anyone could, exemplified by the silk and steel of his immortal ‘Invincibles’.
“And talking of excitement, as a lifelong Arsenal fan I can scarcely express my own at the prospect of welcoming the great Arsene Wenger to the invincible Hachette squad and the Weidenfeld & Nicolson team.’”
‘My Life in Red and White' will be published simultaneously in the UK and France.
