Fans of the Friendly French Giant
Unai Emery reckons that one of the reasons why he has been able to do well in his managerial career is that his career as a player ended too soon, much before it should have ended and because he couldn’t remain associated with the game as a player anymore, it gave him extra motivation to do special things as a coach.
Thierry Henry is yet to get his first win after five games since being appointed as the head coach at AS Monaco. The former Arsenal striker has been on the management path for quite some time and he recently assisted Coach Roberto Martinez as Belgium reached the semis of the FIFA World Cup. There was so much excitement when he was finally appointed as the coach of a top side in France. However, it has been a poor start for Henry.
William Gallas was thankful to Arsene Wenger for his contribution at Arsenal as he was ready to stand down as a manager after close to 22 years. Gallas did play for Arsenal for about 4 years and the armband of the captain was given to him by Wenger during his tenure at the club. The former Tottenham and Chelsea defender was amongst the several ex- Arsenal footballers who did pay tribute to Wenger during the final game as manager against Burnley.
Roberto Martinez the Belgium football team coach has accepted and revealed that he has no secrets as he plots to end the bid of Brazil for a record-extending sixth World Cup before their “dream” quarter-final on Friday that July 6, in Kazan.
Since Mathieu Debuchy’s arrival to the Emirates Stadium on July of 2014, the French defender has not managed to make consistent appearances for the English Premier League club.
Injuries have seriously affected the playing career of Mathieu Debuchy in Arsenal as it has made him unable to play in a significant amount of matches and there was even a game in which he was forced to leave the pitch in a stretcher as well as being administered with oxygen.

Leicester City became the sixth club to ever win the Premier League back in May as Claudio Ranieri guided the East Midlands club to a shock title. Leicester’s football odds to win the league were an incredible 5000/1 at the start of the season.
The Foxes joined Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City to have been crowned champions of what many consider to be the most-exciting league in the world.
Others argue Spain’s La Liga where Real Madrid currently have a six-point lead over the rest of the field and where both they and Barcelona have combined to win 19 of the previous 24 titles since 1992 when the Premier League was formed.
During the same period, Spanish teams have been the most successful in the UEFA Champions League – Europe’s elite club cup competition, winning it on nine occasions. That’s Real Madrid five times and Barcelona four.
Despite the success of these two huge footballing giants, the Premier League boasts both the highest television viewers across the world and the highest television rights.
The Premier League secured an incredible £5.14 billion deal over three years in February 2015 that kicked off this season. The 20 teams in this season’s Premier League are to land a windfall of cash.
13 clubs in England’s top flight even broke their transfer record in the summer to show how significant the new TV deal is worth and how important club owners know it is to stay in the Premier league for the next three years at least.
Last season’s Championship winners Burnley splashed out on £10.5 million on Jeff Hendrick from Derby County, whilst Bournemouth paid a staggering £15.3 million for former-Derby loanee Jordon Ibe. The winger arrived from Liverpool with 41 appearances to his name but only one Premier League goal and three assists. Simply put, transfer fees really don’t mean much at all to clubs in the English top flight any more.
In Germany there are few clubs with such spending power, but one club that do is Bayern Munich. With significant money splashed out on the likes of Manuel Neuer, Renato Sanches and Douglas Costa in recent seasons, the Bavarians are expected to extend their number of Bundesliga titles over the coming years.
Since the formation of the Premier League back in 1992, Bayern Munich have been champions of Germany 14 times. In comparison, Manchester United have won the Premier League 13 times, Barcelona have won La Liga 12 times, Real Madrid seven, and Juventus have been top of the Italian pile 10 times during this period.
Paris Saint-Germain have won the French league five times since 1992 and Lyon seven times. Ligue 1 can actually boast the biggest variety of champions since the Premier League started with 10 in all. This includes Nantes in 1994-05, Auxerre in 1995-96, and RC Lens in 1997-98.
In comparison, Germany has seen six different champions like England, whilst Spain and Italy have only had five different clubs lift their crowns over the past 24 seasons.
