Many users on the social media platform wished him well and thanked him not only for his work at Arsenal, but his contribution to association football in the UK.
Glad to see the majority saying this already, but #ArseneWenger now deserves an incredible send-off from not only #Arsenal fans but the rest of football too. Incredible impact and tenure in the English game.

Arsène Wenger has been the face of Arsenal since before I was born. He not only revolutionised Arsenal Football Club but English football as a whole. It's a shame it's had to end like this, but the fans & the players have to unite to give him the send off he deserves.

Remember to tell your son and grandsons that a certain coach, Arsene Wenger won the EPL without losing a single match.
