Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has agreed to a new three-year contract with the Premier League club, putting an end to speculation about his future, according to reports on Thursday.
The 42-year-old, who has been in charge of the Gunners since 2019, has guided the team to consecutive second-place finishes in the league. However, he was in the final year of his previous deal.
Last month, Arteta urged for calm regarding his contract situation, emphasizing that his focus was on the transfer window.
His new contract is announced just before Arsenal’s Premier League match against London rivals Tottenham on Sunday.
Since leaving his coaching role at Manchester City to replace Unai Emery at the Emirates, Arteta, a former Arsenal player, has won silverware and revitalized the club as serious Premier League contenders.
In his first season, Arteta led the Gunners to FA Cup victory. They have also finished as Premier League runners-up in the past two seasons, engaging in exciting title races with Manchester City.
Currently, Arsenal is fourth in the league after two wins and a draw and will start their Champions League campaign next week against Atalanta.
