Mikel Arteta agrees new three-year contract as Arsenal manager - reports

The top level implies a demand that needs context. Mikel Arteta has been in charge of Arsenal since 2019 and has decorated his trophy cabinet with an FA Cup and two Community Shields. The results may seem poor when the Emirates Stadium outfit want to claim the Premier League and an even higher share of silverware, but the step forward the project has taken over the years guarantees the Spanish coach's stability in his post.
'The Athletic' reports that the San Sebastian coach has reached an agreement with the board to renew his contract until 30th June 2027. His current one expires at the end of this season, which he signed in May 2022, but the Gunners' establishment as the main alternative to Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title has prompted his bosses to propose an extension.
The current man in the Gunners dugout took over in December 2019, when he replaced Unai Emery, who is now in charge of Aston Villa, a direct rival in the Champions League places. In between, Freddie Ljungberg managed the dressing room on an interim basis for around a month. The ‘Spanish double’ that the Brits accepted was their big post-Wenger gamble.
At that time, the likes of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were still in the squad and, despite having a certain amount of stature, they were part of a restructuring that Mikel Arteta applied to bring fresh air into the dressing room. It was the genesis of key developments for Arsenal's present, such as Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. As the seasons progressed, new key players such as Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz arrived.
