Arsenal fans have come to terms with the fact that their manager of more than two decades will leave the hotseat at the end of the season.
Last week, Arsene Wenger announced to the world that he will leave his post at the Emirates this summer, one year earlier than the expiration of his contract.
Despite many Arsenal fans being keen for the Frenchman to leave, the majority had kind words for the 68-year-old when the announcement was made.
After all, Wenger did guide the club to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups during his tenure.

Now, attention has turned to who will replace the experienced coach, with numerous figures being mentioned in the gossip pages.
According to Sky Sports News, Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis believes that former club captain Mikel Arteta is a worthy candidate.
The Spaniard spent five years playing for the Gunners following his 2011 switch from Everton, and after retiring, he began learning from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola by joining his coaching staff.
Arteta has limited experience when it comes to management, but Sky Sports News believes that the former midfielder is an option for Gazidis, who will recommend a replacement to Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke.
The initial reaction to the reports has not been met with much joy from Arsenal fans.
