Jack Wilshere, a former Arsenal midfielder who now coaches the U18s team, recently spoke out against Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher for his disrespectful comments towards legendary Gunners manager Arsene Wenger. Wilshere, who played the best football of his career under Wenger and won two FA Cups with him, was bothered by Carragher's statement that Jurgen Klopp is a better manager than Wenger.
As someone who has a special relationship with Wenger, Wilshere believes that Carragher's opinion is biased due to his connections with Liverpool. He took to social media to express his thoughts, saying, "Klopp has done an amazing job at Liverpool, but let's not forget that Arsene's legacy in the Premier League is unmatched. Sorry Jamie, but you're way off. Please show some respect for what Arsene has achieved over a longer period, including leading the only Invincible team in the Premier League."
Wilshere also reminded Carragher of Wenger's impact on English football, stating, "Everyone appreciates what Pep has done, but let's not forget that Arsene had a similar effect when he came in 1996." He also urged Carragher to remember the era that he witnessed firsthand.
Wenger, who managed Arsenal from 1996 to 2018, has an impressive record with the Gunners, winning three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups. He was also named Premier League Manager of the Season three times in 1998, 2002, and 2004.
In comparison, Klopp has only won one Premier League title during his nine-year tenure at Liverpool, narrowly missing out on two other occasions. However, he has also led the team to victory in the Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Club World Cup, and Super Cup. He has been named Premier League Manager of the Season twice, in 2020 and 2022.
Amidst the debate over who is the better manager, Wilshere also shared some trending news about Arsenal, including Frank de Boer's suggestion for a £34 million striker to join the team, Martin Keown's criticism of a "desperate" manager for costing them the Premier League title, and Cesc Fabregas' praise for current manager Mikel Arteta's work with the team.
