Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new three-year contract extension to continue what has been an impressive stay at Emirates Stadium.
The 42-year-old joined the Gunners in 2019 and was set to head into the final year of his current deal.
Speaking of Arteta and his extension, Sporting Director Edu said; “We are really happy that Mikel has signed a new long-term contract. It’s a very positive and proud moment for everyone at the club and an important part of what we’re all working towards.
“Mikel has shown his qualities since the very first day he joined us, not only as a football manager, but as a person with wonderful values. We have a strong belief in what we are doing and what we want to achieve together. Mikel’s new contract gives us stability and clear direction as we aim for new heights.”
Arteta has brought fresh air to the red part of North London with successes in the FA Cup and Community Shield, as well as back to back second place finishes in the league.
His Arsenal team have been the closest challengers to Manchester City over the past two years and are set for another heated title race in the 2024/25 season.
“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,” Arteta said.
“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.
“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.”
