Is it proof that Arsene Wenger’s been in the job too long? Or sad evidence of the hire and fire culture of the Premier League? Either way, the Arsenal boss has made history once again with a little bit of help from sacked managers Brendan Rodgers and Dick Advocaat.

Wenger’s total number of days in charge of the Gunners is greater than the number of days combined of every other current Premier League manager while operating in the top division.

The Frenchman has been in charge of Arsenal for 6,942 days and counting, celebrating his 19th anniversary last Thursday.

Every other Premier League boss combined can’t quite reach 19 years in charge, falling short on 6,936 days

WENGER AND THE REST

Arsene Wenger's days in the Premier League: 6,942

The rest in the Premier League: 6,938

Every other Premier League boss combined can’t quite reach 19 years in charge, falling short on 6,938 days.

Wenger wins the title by a country mile, with Stoke manager Mark Hughes finishing in second place just 6,085 days behind.

There are just two days separating Everton's Roberto Martinez and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho in the battle for third place, with the Blues chief pipping the Spaniard's total with 853 days.

Claudio Ranieri may have been in charge for just 83 days at the bottom of the list, but the Italian has already made a huge impact at the King Power Stadium, leading his new side to fifth in the Premier League table.

The numbers only include days in charge of a club already in the Premier League, or already promoted to the Premier League.

Wenger hasn’t got long to celebrate though. Every day the other Premier League bosses catch him by a cumulative 18 days, meaning they’ll be back in front of Wenger by Wednesday.
