Mikel Arteta has agreed to a new three-year contract with the club.
The 42-year-old manager’s previous deal was set to expire at the end of the current season, sparking speculation about his future and potential moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
However, Arteta has now put an end to all the rumors and uncertainty by signing a new contract that will keep him at the helm of Arsenal until 2027.
In a recent interview with CNN, Arteta shared his philosophy on football and his approach to his career, saying,
“In football, it’s about what we’re going to do today and what you hopefully can do tomorrow.”
‘[In] this profession having this uncertainty is quite helpful. At least, it motivates me, keeps me on my toes, and it keeps me hungry to go again.
‘We have a great relationship with everybody at the football club.
I’m really happy where I am and things will take care of themselves.’
