Carlo Ancelotti thinks Arsenal 'legend' Arsene Wenger will be the last manager of his kind

Former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has hailed the impact that 'legend' Arsene Wenger has had on Arsenal.

The Italian believes Wenger will be the last manager of his kind, in terms of his longevity with the Gunners, when he finally decides to end his reign in north London.

Ancelotti points to the Frenchman, and Sir Alex Ferguson, as managers that are now 'impossible' to find, and has supported Arsenal and Manchester United for their patience with the pair.

“When Wenger decides to finish at Arsenal, I don’t think we will ever see a manager stay at the club for so long again," Ancelotti told the Independent. "He and [Sir Alex] Ferguson are different, and to find managers like that – legends – is impossible.

"But I hope for our job as managers, you can still find clubs whose focus is not always only on the result. I think that Manchester United are focused on different things, Arsenal the same.
