We’ve just heard that a feature documentary on football/ soccer manager Arsène Wenger is set for DVD and Blu-ray stands this coming November. Arsène Wenger: Invincible will, according to its official blurb, be the definitive film documentary portrait of one of the greatest football managers of all time.
From Amazon, here is the full description.
Featuring remarkable access and previously unseen archive footage, directors Gabriel Clarke (Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager, Finding Jack Charlton) and Christian Jeanpierre draw back the veil on a truly enigmatic figure who discusses, for the first time, the football ‘addiction’ that was both his driving force and his ‘fatal flaw’. Shot on location in England, France and Arsène’s home village of Duttlenheim, INVINCIBLE is a compelling, intimate insight into a football figure like no other. Framed against the backdrop of Arsenal’s historic “Invincible” season of 2003-04, the first and only occasion a team has gone an entire Premier League campaign without defeat, the film sees Wenger reflect candidly on his revolutionary era at Arsenal and the emotional and personal turmoil that surrounded his controversial exit after 22 years.
Expected interviewees will be Arsenal legends, Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright, Emanuel Petit and Robert Pires.
No trailer at the moment, but you can check out the box art above. 22nd November is the expected release date. More soon.
