Arsene Wenger has been Arsenal’s manager for 20 years. Since Wenger became boss of the London club current Premier League teams have gone through 291 managers.

On October 1st 1996 Arsene Wenger officially took over as Arsenal manager. This week marks his 20th Anniversary with the Gunners.

In a league where managers come and go, Wenger’s longevity is a rarity. The only other manager to remain in his position longer than Wenger is the now retired Alex Ferguson. Ferguson was at the helm of Manchester United for 26 years.

To show how special a feat Wenger’s reign is, here’s a look at how many managers each current Premier League Club has gone through since Wenger came to Arsenal.
