The long-serving Arsenal manager has had his critics within the club's fanbase for a couple of years now, but they were placated after a three-month unbeaten run following an opening day of the season defeat put them on course to challenge for all major honours.
Then it all went belly-up.
An embarrassing 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich saw them crash out of the Champions League last 16 yet again, while their Premier League form fell off a cliff which ultimately cost them a spot in the top four , let alone a proper run at the title itself.
As a result, he's faced increasingly loud calls to leave the club when his contract expires this summer. There's been Wenger Out protests on land and air , and the topic of his future at the club has essentially become an internet meme.
But despite his - and Arsenal's - struggles this season, they managed to end it on a high note - with victory in the FA Cup final over Chelsea.
It's the seventh time Wenger has won the competition, more than any other manager.

Given all he's faced this season, this was a special victory; he even admitted this will be the first medal he's ever kept in his distinguished career.
The result was a lot of VERY happy photos in the post-game celebrations - ones that are sure to put a smile on your face, whoever you support.
Unless maybe you're a Chelsea or Tottenham fan...
