New Liberian President, George Weah invites Arsene Wenger to his inauguration

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has been invited by the new Liberia President George Weah to his inauguration later this month.

Wenger was Weah’s manager at French side Monaco between 1988 and 1992.




“I have been invited by George to come to the day where he will be the President.

“I believe I will be busy but if I am suspended (for his comments on referees) I will have time to go.” he said.

“The life of this guy is a real film. It is unbelievable. It can make a fantastic film.

“I remember when I saw him the first time at Monaco, coming in 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”, Wenger told BBC.




The former Ballon d’or winner was declared winner of the Liberia presidential run-off after taking 61.5 per cent of the vote from 98.1 per cent of ballots cast to beat his opponent Vice-President Joseph Boakai, who took 38.5 per cent of the vote.
