Mikel Arteta’s 200th game as Arsenal manager was a 1-0 victory over Brentford. After achieving that milestone, it was revealed that the Spaniard has the most wins in his first 200 games as Arsenal manager. According to records, below is the list of the top 3 Arsenal managers after 200 games:
Mikel Arteta – 116
Arsene Wenger – 111
George Graham – 106
It’s nice to see Arteta at the top of the list. It just goes to demonstrate how wise the club was to put their faith in him for the Arsenal position.
After his team defeated Brentford 1-0 thanks to a Kai Havertz header, Arteta expressed his delight, saying it was a memorable moment for him, thanking his team for making him proud by fighting for him, and also praising the fans, before revealing he would celebrate the win with his family before shifting his focus to the Champions League clash with Lens.
“Today was a special day for me, for the staff, 200 games for this incredible club,” he said on Arsenal.com. “I’m really going to remember this day for a lot of reasons, but especially for the chemistry that the team shows between them. You know how sensitive we are with the emotional state of each of them. The relationship that we have with our supporters and, obviously, the fact that we won the game and we are top of the league.
“I am so happy. I’m going to have a beautiful dinner with my family, and tomorrow start to think about the next Champions League game.
“I’m so happy how much the team wants it, how prepared they were. We knew we were coming to a really tough place today after having the opportunity to go top. And the team showed an incredible mentality, the way they competed, the way they play, and we fully deserved to win the game.”
Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have only brighter days ahead of them. When he originally took over at the club, nobody believed he would endure, but game after game, season after season, he has proven he is the man to lead them to glory.

Well done Arteta
First time as a manager and 4 years on we are sniffing around the top of the league for the second year running
Out with the non team players and in with a different brand of player who is.
Yes, it cost the club to get rid but I can only comment on my infrequent visits to the Emirates to see the change in atmosphere and success on the pitch
Arteta has been backed but why not? The idea isn’t to play second or third fiddle.
The list of successful premier league managers isn’t a long one and Arteta has the makings of joining it
@SueP – 🫶
YOUR USUAL PREDICTABLY WISE POST SUE!
So phase four has taken shape SueP
Phase 4
Now let me think, Gunsmoke
Isn’t it more than that by now?😊
It would have been except for one phase was entirely wiped out by covid.
It was a tough task MA being our manager, and state of club was terrible. On top of that we got the Covid-19 pandemic one year later.
From the beginning your intention obviously was to build from what we got, but you realised that it was necessary to clean out the mess to give our club a fresh start. You took the unpleasant job to sort it out and gave us fresh air and a new start.
From my point of view this has been crucial for where we are as a club today, among the best clubs in the league. For me there’s a huge difference between top two and top four. In the last two decades we have been top four many times, but seldom top two, and we have seldom been a title contender. Now it’s realistic to win the title, and that’s something quite different.
Arsenal FC have had some great managers, and MA has the potential to be one himself. Our future seems bright and I look forward to the next step 🔴⚪️
LUIZ DOUGLAS: GOOD SIGNING FOR ARS!
But it has NOT happened and very likely will not happen either. Just a fantasy for JA dreamers.
REALISTS KNOW WE HAVE NOT THAT SORT OF MONEY AVAILABLE IN JANUARY.
Victoria concordia crescit. Let’s do this together,COYG!
Long may he stay there!!!!!!! This time.
Hmm – great that he has won more games than our last manager, but he also lost more than him… keeping feet on the ground comes to mind once again where MA is concerned.
Still doing a great job by the way, no matter what phase we’re in.
