Arsène Wenger
Arsene Wenger is credited with revolutionising one of the biggest clubs in Europe – famously bringing free-flowing football to ‘boring, boring Arsenal’ – and with influencing approaches to the modern game. In an industry of disposable contracts and ruthless sacking, his long tenure is testament to his success and dedication, and to the loyalty of players and fans. Wenger has said he is far too young to write his autobiography. Instead, he has cooperated with leading sports journalist Xavier Rivoire in this new authorised and definitive biography, which includes exclusive interviews with Wenger, ex and current players, family, colleagues and observers, across Japan, France and England. The result is a highly readable portrait of an astute and incisive manager, a shrewd talent scout and man manager, as well as an intensely private and intriguing man.

Profession footballeur
" Non mais, Robert, tu crois que footballeur professionnel, c'est un métier ? " Avec cette question, le professeur de français du jeune Robert Pires croyait détourner l'élève dissipé de sa vocation... Quinze ans plus tard, Robert Pires est champion du monde et d'Europe avec l'équipe de France et évolue au sein du club londonien d'Arsenal. Comment s'est exprimée sa vocation ? Comment gère-t-il la pression des supporteurs ? Comment a-t-il réagi face à la grave blessure qui l'a immobilisé avant le Mondial 2002 ? Pour répondre à ces questions, et à bien d'autres encore, Robert Pires parle de son expérience et des personnalités qu'il a fréquentées, de Joël Müller à Arsène Wenger, en passant par Patrick Vieira et Zinedine Zidane. Décidément, l'enfant Pires n'a pas eu tort de répondre à son professeur : " Oui, Madame, je pense que footballeur professionnel est un métier. En tout cas, ce sera le mien ".
Footballeur - An Autobiography
When Arsene Wenger brought Robert Pires to Arsenal in the summer of 2000 he was a good footballer on the cusp of greatness. After a slow first season, his second was astonishing. He was a key player in Arsenal's double-winning year until a terrible injury curtailed the series of glorious performances that won him the prestigious Football Writers' Player of the Year award and put an end to his World Cup dreams. Robert Pires has always wanted to be a professional footballer and this triumphant story of footballing success has been preceded by a life dedicated to this single aim. After announcing at the age of eight that he intended to play football for a living he finally achieved his goal when he went to play for Rheims in 1991. Since then his career has taken him to Metz, to Marseilles, to Arsenal and onto the world stage with Les Bleus. In this book he describes how he turned his dreams into reality: the sacrifices he has made, the injuries he has had to endure; the rewards and demands of playing in the Premiership, and how his time with Arsene Wenger and Arsenal has transformed him. Footballeur is an honest and fascinating account of a brilliant career on planet football

Beckham System
Superstar du football sous les couleurs de Manchester United, du Real Madrid et de l'équipe d'Angleterre, David Beckham pulvérise les dimensions de son sport. Aussi célèbre soit-il, cet Anglais aux traits juvéniles conserve une part d'inconnu, porté qu'il est par la Beckhamania, phénomène universel constaté mais jamais analysé.

Comment Beckham enflamme-t-il les foules du monde entier, séduit-il femme...
The Gig Mindset Advantage
Companies and organizations around the world are being confronted with alarming challenges—a global pandemic, market shocks, climate change, political instability. But in these unsettled times, organizational analyst Jane McConnell reveals that managers and executives have a secret weapon on their side: an overlooked group of employees that share “the gig mindset”—a freelancer-style knack for improvisation, adaptability and innovation that offers a crucial key to the future. Found at all levels of the workforce but often stifled by managers, gig mindsetters are disruptors who upend business as usual and bridge gaps while achieving surprising outcomes and charting new directions. Six ...
Will You Manage?
"Bloody obvious isn't it: tell the defenders to route one out to Drogba" "That's what they've been doing all night and look where it's got them" "The final ball has just not been weighted enough; in any case, his touch is too heavy" "120,000 a week and look how little they put themselves about" "Players today are mercenaries: in my day they lived and died for their local team. It was a way of life: now it's just a cheque at the end of the month" blah, blah, blah... Every weekend in pubs and living-rooms all over the country, women and (mainly) men discuss the day's games and how they could have done better than the cretinous manager. Few people think they can fix their leaking sink better th...
