Which manager led Arsenal to an unbeaten Premier League season in 2003-04?

The story behind the answer

Arsène Wenger led Arsenal to an unbeaten Premier League season in 2003–04.

Arsenal finished the 2003–04 Premier League campaign with 26 wins, 12 draws, and no defeats. The achievement earned the team the nickname “The Invincibles” and made Arsenal the first team to complete a 38-game Premier League season unbeaten.

Wenger, a French manager who had joined Arsenal in 1996, built the side around attacking football, technical skill, and disciplined defensive organization. Thierry Henry scored 30 league goals and was the team’s leading scorer, while Patrick Vieira captained the champions.

The unbeaten run was larger than the season itself: Arsenal ultimately went 49 league matches without defeat, a record that ended against Manchester United in October 2004. Another common misconception is that Arsenal went unbeaten in every competition that season; they lost in the FA Cup and League Cup semifinals and exited the Champions League in the quarterfinals.
