    From captain to coach: Arsenal appoint new boss Mikel Arteta on a three-and-a-half-year deal

    Robert Baum, 5 years ago
    Arsenal confirm the appointment of former captain Mikel Arteta as their new manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal. At 37 years old, he becomes the fifth-youngest manager in Arsenal’s history. “My first task will be to get to know the players better and get them playing the kind of fast flowing, attacking football that Arsenal supporters want to see,” Mikel Arteta said in the [team’s official announcement](https://www.arsenal.com/news/mikel-arteta-joining-our-new-head-coach) on its website. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6TOqdKDpOf/ “We need to be competing for the top trophies in the game. It won’t happen overnight but the current squad has plenty of talent and there is a great pipeline of young players coming through the academy.” The Spaniard made 150 appearances with Arsenal under boss Arsene Wenger, recording 16 goals, eight assists, and two FA Cups. A former Barca [La Masia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Masia) student, Mikel traversed European leagues, playing for the likes of PSG, Rangers, Real Sociedad, Everton, and finally, Arsenal. He’ll be leaving his post as Manchester City’s assistant coach after three and half seasons under manager Pep Guardiola. The two coaches combined for two Premier League titles and an FA Cup but fell short on lifting a Champions League trophy. “When you have a dream you cannot stop it,” said Guardiola on Arteta’s departure. “Arsenal was an important part of Mikel’s career. One of the best teams in England. We wish him all the best. I am pretty sure he will do an excellent job.” Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sané credit Arteta for improving their game at Manchester City. Arsenals fans will hope that Arteta can work the same magic on the newest Gunners Nicolas Pépé & Gabriel Martinelli under the Spaniard’s guidance. The North London faithful will also be interested to see if Arteta hangs on to former teammate Mesut Ozil, who’s been linked to Fenerbahce on loan. https://twitter.com/MesutOzil1088/status/1208028894424633348 Interim boss Freddie Ljungberg will still coach Saturday’s match against Everton with Arteta set to take over on Sunday. Arteta takes on a risky job, as Arsenal are currently 10th place in the Premier League table with no signs of progress. But if it there was too much on the line for the Arsenal board to hire him 18 months ago when he first applied — Arsenal selected the safe option in canned boss [Unai Emery](https://433futbol.com/five-potential-candidates-to-replace-unai-emery/) — this time around Arteta’s appointment is a gamble worth making. Can Arteta resurrect the Gunners? Let us know on Twitter.
