Wenger won the league on three occasions with Arsenal between 1996 and 2018, including going unbeaten in the 2003-2004 season.

It’s about the job at Manchester United and the bond we had over many years, so I’m also proud for the club, the staff and my players.” The Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates individuals who have an exceptional record of success and have made a significant contribution to the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
