5 of the most loyal Premier League names

#1 Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger is now the Premier League's longest reigning manager ever

Few people in football have divided opinion as much as this man. Of late, his most loyal fans have started to question his authority. Yet, one thing remains unquestionable - Arsene’s love for Arsenal.

To say the Frenchman has faced strife is an understatement. Vital players have abandoned him during times of need, horrific injuries have seen him lose incredible talents, and financial pressure has seen the man struggle to keep pace with the demands of the Premier League.

But Wenger fought on. He turned down several lucrative offers to stay with the club and it’s fair to say he’s established a legacy. He was the first non-British manager to win the league, thus ushering in a revolution.

With last year’s FA Cup triumph, he became the competition’s most successful manager in its 145-year history. And the feat of going an entire English season unbeaten is one that few believe can be repeated.

The 67-year-old could have thrown in the towel a number of times in his time at Arsenal, but he believed in his system. His decision to stay put and sign a 2-year contract this summer wasn’t exactly lauded, but class is permanent and persistence like this shall sooner or later be rewarded.
