Mikel Arteta: Head coach of The Arsenal

The former Arsenal skipper, will finally take over at the North London club (Arsenal) on Sunday.


The Spaniard has agreed a three-and-a-half year deal to return to the Emirates Stadium, leaving his role as assisant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

 


On his arrival, Arteta told Arsenal's website: "This is a huge honour. Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"We need to be competing for the top trophies in the game and that’s been made very clear to me in my discussions with Stan and Josh Kroenke, and the senior people from the club.

"We all know there is a lot of work to be done to achieve that but I am confident we’ll do it.

"I’m realistic enough to know it won’t happen overnight but the current squad has plenty of talent and there is a great pipeline of young players coming through from the academy."


 

The 37-year-old made 150 appearances for Arsenal during his playing career and won two FA Cups in north London.
