Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has told the BBC that he has been invited by Liberia's new President George Weah to his inauguration later this month.
The Arsenal manager was Weah's boss at French league team Monaco in the 1990s.
But Wenger could never have imagined the young player would go on to become president of Liberia.
Weah was elected president last month, winning more than 60% of the vote in the second-round run-off.
"The life of this guy is a real film. It is unbelievable. It can make a fantastic film," an excited Wenger told the BBC.
"I remember when I saw him the first time at Monaco, coming in a bit lost, not knowing anybody, not being rated by anybody as a player and becoming the best player in the world in 1995 - and today becoming the president of his country. It's an unbelievable story."
