Former Arsenal coach, Arsene Wenger has arrived in Liberia to receive the country's highest honour from president George Weah.

President Weah who was signed by the former Arsenal manager when he was coaching Monaco in 1988, is set to induct the Frenchman into his country's Order of Distinction and given the title of Knight Grand Commander of the Humane Order of African Redemption.

The award not only conveys their personal connection, but also that he 'has contributed to sports in Africa and has given many Africans opportunities, according to information minister Eugene Nagbe.

Weah is the only African to have been named World Player of the Year, claiming the honour in 1995.

Wenger, who resigned from Arsenal in April after 22 years, coached many African stars during that period, and others from his previous managerial stints in France.

President Weah has said that Wenger “took care of me like his son” when he went to Monaco, adding that “besides God, I think that without Arsène, there was no way I would have made it in Europe”.

Wenger on George Weah .....
.........."I remember when I saw him the first time at Monaco, coming in straight from Africa a bit lost, not knowing anybody, not being rated by anybody as a player and becoming the best player in the world in 1995 and today becoming the president of his country," he told journalists in January.

But who discovered him in his home country before wenger? Because from my findings he was never from a rich background . So somebody must have discovered him in liberia before paying his airfares to France .
He was actually playing in ivory coast back then , not in Liberia.
Someone else can make a research about who discovered him here in Africa , we only know about who gave him the chance in Europe!
Ok, bye!

And is this not corruption? Just because the current president is a mentee makes Wenger entitled to the country's highest honour? If it were here in Nigeria all hell would have been let loose.
