Brazil brings out Arsene's sunny side

While the rest of the footballing world frets over Luis Suarez, Wenger - who has got to be to be enjoying the whole mess a teeny-weeny bit - is having a ball.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is a very serious man. He takes his job seriously, football seriously and life itself SERIOUSLY.

So imagine our amazement when pictures starting appearing on Twitter, showing a very different side of him. Wenger is in Brazil working as a pundit for a French TV station and judging by these pictures he might just be happy to stay there.

The normally morose Frenchman has been snapped living it up on Copacabana beach, impressing onlookers with his skills while playing football on the sand.

He even joined in a game of beach volleyball and has quite the touch.

All this participation is paying off and he is making loads of new …... friends.

Imagine how shocked these new pals would be if they met the grumpy so-and-so that Premier League fans normally see.

He is having such a good time over there he even looks really happy when he’s working.

Who would have that thought that beneath that heavily insulated, oversized coat beat the heart of a Brazilian?
