Arteta at Arsenal facing crucial future decision
The Spaniard's contract was actually due to expire at the end of the season.
Mikel Arteta is on the verge of signing a contract extension at FC Arsenal. This is consistently reported by several English media outlets.
The Spaniard's contract was actually set to expire at the end of the season. However, an agreement is now said to be imminent.
Only Simeone has a longer tenure
The 44-year-old has been head coach of the "Gunners" since 2019. This means that in Europe's top five leagues, only Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid has been in charge longer. The Argentinian has been coaching the "Colchoneros" since 2011.
Under Arteta, Arsenal won the Premier League last season for the first time in over 20 years. The Londoners' last championship-winning team before that was the "Invincible" team in 2003/04.
Additionally, Arsenal reached the Champions League final last season, which they lost against PSG. Currently, the North Londoners are in second place in the Premier League, behind Manchester City.
