Arsene Wenger spoke glowingly of former player George Weah following his election as Liberian president and confirmed that he has received an invitation to the inauguration.
Weah first made a mark on European football at Monaco, when Wenger signed him for the Ligue 1 side in 1988, winning the African Footballer of the Year award for the first time the next year and staying there until joining Paris Saint-Germain in 1992.
Although Weah left Wenger and Monaco, he often credited the manager with having a significant influence on his career, as he went on to play for AC Milan in 1995, becoming the first non-European player to win the Ballon d'Or later that year and establishing himself as one of the finest African footballers in history.
