Mikel Arteta will hit the jackpot
What’s next after this ad

Mikel Arteta is getting there. Her first months were complicated and unstable. There was even talk of a premature end to the adventure last season. The Gunners had just finished in 8th place in the Premier League, and fell in the semi-finals of the Europa League. For the first time in 25 years, the London club would not play a European Cup. A heresy for such a club, which wanted, let’s remember, to join the Super League

In the end, the Spanish technician held on despite the storm and the rumors of the club’s takeover. He also knew he couldn’t burn a joker anymore. We had to shine this season, finally straighten out the club or leave. Paradoxically, the disastrous start to the season (three defeats to start against Brentford, but above all Chelsea 2-0 and Manchester City 5-0) woke everyone up, as Arsenal were on the verge of implosion, Arteta in the lead. .

Arsenal will break the bank to renew Arteta

The Gunners started a very good series and made a lasting rise in the standings. Here they are 6th in the Premier League, four points behind 4th place occupied by Manchester United, but above all they have three games behind to play. More than ever, they are in the race for European places. The arrivals of Ben White, Aaron Ramsdale, Nuno Tavares and Takehiro Tomiyasu stabilized the defense. Bukayo Saka is always growing in this team where the young Emile Smith Rowe explodes.

This finally convinced the management to continue with Arteta. Under contract until 2023, Guardiola’s former assistant currently earns €6 million a year, but club boss Stan Kroenke is preparing to offer him a new €30 million lease to extend for three seasons. He should therefore earn 10 M€ per year, almost doubling his salary until 2025, according to what the Sun. He will then receive the same emoluments as a certain Arsène Wenger during his last season at the club. It is still far from Guardiola (20 M€/year) and Klopp, Conte and Tuchel (15 M€/year), but it shows that the work done by Arteta is recognized.
