Arteta Signs New Contract at Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has signed a new three-year contract at Arsenal until June 2027.

Since he took charge in December 2019, Arteta led the Gunners to the FA Cup title in his first season in charge, followed by two Community Shield titles in 2020 & 23 which were both won on penalties over Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.

The Spaniard also spearheaded Arsenal’s revival from top-four challengers to Premier League title contenders, although they missed on the honour to Man City in each of the last two seasons.

Speaking about his decision to extend his stay, Arteta commented: “I feel extremely proud, very excited and am looking forward to what is coming next. I’m proud to be where I am and have the relationships that I have with everyone at the club.

“I feel extremely lucky to work every single day with good people and the ambition we have here. I feel very inspired, I feel challenged, I feel supported and I want to do much more than what we’ve already done together.

“Together with the players and everyone at the club, we are looking forward to the coming years, with our supporters, who have emotionally transformed the club and the team.”

Arteta proceeded to thank fans for their support in the team’s development as he added: “Our supporters have transformed individuals and we are different now. You can tell that we are different and for me, that is down to them.

“We look forward to continuing the journey together.”

Arsenal Co-Chair, Josh Kroenke is “delighted” to retain Arteta who he praised for his desire to achieve success with the North London club.

“Mikel is a dynamic and passionate manager, who is relentless in the pursuit of excellence.

“He has a deep understanding of Arsenal’s values, and since joining us as Head Coach in December 2019, he has taken the team to another level in an Arsenal way.

“There is a great collective team spirit at the club, and with the strong relationships we hold between us and belief in what we do, we look forward with excitement and confidence, as we continue our aim – to win together.”
