The primary reason for Wenger’s departure is, simply put, the lack of important silverware.
Arsenal’s fans have always pined for the glory days, and more than a decade without a league title has left them bereft of confidence in their formerly talismanic manager.
Consistently good but never outstanding, Wenger’s recent teams never really challenged for the title. Once one of the two biggest teams in England alongside Ferguson’s United, those glory days are long gone.

In recent years, Arsenal have been a fixture of the Champions League – but finished last season in 5th. A dismal campaign this time round despite heavy investment was the final straw, with Wenger’s untouchable status routinely questioned.
The last two seasons have seen them finish behind bitter rivals Spurs for the first time in Wenger’s reign too.
