Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted that he likes being a coach more than a player and spoke about his club's goals for next campaign.

Arteta's side finished as runners-up to relentless Manchester City for a second successive season after falling just short on the final day.
City have won an unprecedented four consecutive titles and have been crowned champions six times in the last seven years. Their reign shows no sign of coming to an end, with Arsenal's brilliant form in 2024 still not enough to dethrone them.
"Win, win and win, that’s what we want. We built for a few years. Right now, we have a team that is full of enthusiasm and so hungry to win trophies. We know the competition, but we believe we can do it, so we are going to give it a real go," Arteta told reporters on Tuesday.
"I feel extremely proud, because when I decided to stop my career as a football player, I thought that all the joy and the best moments of football were gone. And I was totally wrong, because when I started my coaching and managerial career, I am loving it even more," he confessed.
Arteta went on to add: "I feel so passionate about it and I have to thank all the players, the coaching staff and everybody involved at the football club to make my days so enjoyable, so inspiring and for supporting me in this journey that we started four years ago, that is hopefully going to take us right to the top to win many trophies."
