Arsenal boss Wenger: I've shown foreigners good for English game

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 09/29/2009 - 04:45

Reflecting on his 13 years at Arsenal, manager Arsene Wenger believes he's changed attitudes in England.

"I believe I contributed to the change in attitude," said Wenger.

"That can look pretentious but I don’t think it is at all. I can show some articles where people tried to prove that a foreign manager could never win an English championship.

"That has changed and I have certainly contributed to that. But I am also one of the few who also defends English managers."
