A true gentleman of the game both on and off the pitch. Arsene you were more than a manager to me almost a second dad. Moving to London on my own, you tought me so much. The way you want to play football will always be remembered as legendary! @arsenal #legend

Thanks Arsene for all your confidence in me over the years. You are a very special man & a top coach! Definitely one of the very best ever! I will always see you as my footballing father where under your guidance I had the chance to grow as a man and a player, i'm forever thankful for that and wish you all the very best for the next chapter in your life!
Hector Bellerin:
Personally a very sad day. I am forever in debt to this man. The person who had faith in me and gave me a platform to progress. Thank you for all the memories and trophies boss
Graham Stack:
I have the upmost respect for Arsene Wenger, he changed not only @Arsenal but all of British football, he transformed & changed the culture & mindset of players on and off the pitch. A dedicated, workaholic who strived for perfection! A pleasure to have played for! #1ArseneWenger
Rob Holding:

Aaron Ramsey:
It’s been an honour to play for you and win trophies with you .You have been a big influence in my life on and off the field from a boy to a man. I am so happy to see everyone showing gratitude and respect today because you more than deserve it. Thank you Boss
Lee Dixon:
6 years of the most enjoyable successful football of my career. Thank you Arsene. A club legend
Shkodran Mustafi:
The end of an era for @arsenal and also a very moving moment for myself. You've made me a Gunner. No matter what I say, I can never thank you enough for all you've done for this club. We'll give our all to make this a worthy farewell #WeAreTheArsenal #22years
Serge Gnabry:
22 years @Arsenal - almost my whole lifetime. Impressive. Glad I could be a small part of it #MerciArsène #Wenger
Jupp Heynckes:
He has completed a magnificent career as a coach, in France and in England. He achieved lots of successes and his teams played attractive football predominantly. He was one of the top managers in European football. I think he could maybe acquire a job as a manager [director of football], but he could also return as a coach of another team in today’s football. I do not know if he wants to do this anymore, I cannot imagine this. Actually, he does not need this anymore. He had an amazing career. With his philosophy, his style of play and his leadership style he has influenced English football in a very positive way. But in politics and in sport - when you get older someday, this will be also the case for you - you have to say, ‘it was enough’.
Pep Guardiola:
All my respect for what he has done. The Premier League is about huge personalities like Arsène Wenger, it is because of what he has done, his vision. I wish him all he best in the future, I hope he can be involved in world football in a different way with his experience - at Arsenal, UEFA, FIFA, I don’t know. It was a pleasure to compete against him here, at Barcelona, Bayern Munich.
Emiliano Martinez:
Sad to see you leave boss, I can’t thank you enough for keeping me by yourside for almost a decade. Not only were you our manager, but the head of the arsenal family. Not many managers will come close to accomplish what you have achieved in the football world! You will be missed
Carl Jenkinson:
He brought me to Arsenal and gave me the platform to play for my boyhood club. For that alone I will always be in his debt. He taught me so much and I will always admire him for the integrity he showed even in the toughest of times. He is the greatest ever in my eyes. Thanks for everything boss. #MerciArsène
Abou Diaby:
Truly saddened to hear the Boss is leaving. A great man who made an everlasting positive impact.The moral support& confidence you gave me, alongside your guidance& support helped me become the man I am today. A shining light on my darkest days. From the bottom of my heart, MERCI.
Kieran Gibbs:
Congratulations on a remarkable career. I was a boy when I met you but your lessons and guidance have helped shaped me into the man I am today and for that I’m eternally grateful. Thank you for everything you have done for me it was an honour to play for you. All the best Boss!
Ashley Cole:
To the man who believed in me and trusted me to play in a great team,thank you for having my back. I will never forget the conversations we had and the belief you had in me thank you for some great memories and good luck in whatever is next for You #wenger
Dennis Bergkamp:
Boss... Arsène, Thanks!
Sir Alex Ferguson:
I am really happy for Arsene Wenger. I have great respect for him and for the job he has done at Arsenal. It is a great testament to his talent, professionalism and determination that he has been able to dedicate 22 years of his life to a job he loves. In an area where football managers sometimes only last one or two seasons, it shows what an achievement it is to serve that length of time at a club the size of Arsenal. I am pleased that he has announced he is leaving at this stage of the season, as he can now have the send-off that he truly deserves. He is, without doubt, one of the greatest Premier League managers and I am proud to have been a rival, a colleague and a friend to such a great man.
Nwankwo Kanu:
Big shoes for anyone to fill, playing for Arsenal under Arsene was one of the best period of my career, 2 premiership, 2 FA cups, The invincibles, playing with some of the best assembled players, influencing millions of fans in Africa to support this great club are some of the memories that come to fore today but above all the privilege to have played for a gentleman like Wenger is most cherished. #arsenalfc #AFC #Arsenewenger #coyg
Thierry Henry:
His legacy is untouchable. Managers, fans from other teams – (they talk about) how Arsene changed Arsenal. I am happy that now we can all talk about his legacy. Let’s not forget we still have to win the Europa league. It would be an amazing achievement.
Thomas Vermaelen:
It has been a great honour to play for you and I am grateful for the opportunity you gave me to play for Arsenal FC. You deserve all the respect for what you have done for this club. I wish you all the best Boss!
Lukas Podolski:
22 years at the same club is an amazing achievement. It was a pleasure learning from you, a great coach, true character and gentleman both on and off the pitch. An Arsenal legend and icon, all of us Gunners will miss you...
Ray Parlour:
Sad news for @Arsenal let’s get behind the manager and team til end of the season. He certainly made me a better player! Let’s Resect him for what he achieved #Legend
