Wenger FA Cup's most successful boss |
Arsene Wenger became the most successful manager in the history of the FA Cup by winning the competition for a seventh time on Saturday.
The injury-hit Gunners produced an excellent performance to defeat Premier League champions Chelsea and claim the trophy for the 13th time in club history, which is also a record.
The victory comes with Wenger's future up in the air amid a backlash from fans over Arsenal's failure to challenge for the league title and their absence from the Champions League for the 2017-18 campaign.
How, though, does the Frenchman's record stack up as a whole in the context of the club's history?

That works out at one league title or FA Cup per three-and-half seasons or so. With his league three championships in 21 seasons Wenger is almost exactly at the club average, which is just a touch better than one every seven campaigns.
