If you didn’t know, no man in the history of football has won the FA Cup more times than Arsène Wenger. The Frenchman has won the coveted cup competition on six separate occasions, a feat bettered by nobody. Even in his 26 years as Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson only managed to win the Cup five times.

Many criticise Wenger for only winning three league titles in 20 seasons at Arsenal but nobody can fault his domestic history. In the seven FA Cup finals he’s reached, Wenger has only lost one. The man is built for the bright lights at Wembley, he’s had 11 cup semi-finals and seven finals at the ground, Antonio Conte has only had one so far.
