Mikel Arteta has been nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Season award after he helped Arsenal to top the Premier League table for most of this campaign.
The Spaniard has been at the club since the end of 2019 and his rebuild seems to have finally reached its full term this season, as Arsenal led the standings until some weeks back.
Arteta’s side, however, choked on the challenge when it mattered the most and we now expect them to finish behind Manchester City in the race for the league title.
The gaffer has proven to be one of the best coaches in England. Sky Sports revealed he has been nominated alongside Roberto de Zerbi, Unai Emery, Pep Guardiola, Marco Silva and Eddie Howe.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arteta has done a superb job at Arsenal this season, but the gaffer will struggle to win this award, considering the other bosses who have also been nominated.
The Spaniard remains one of the best coaches in Europe, but he will have to win some major trophies to be recognised as one.
Next season, he will get a chance to make an impression in the Champions League. If Arsenal does well in the competition, we expect Arteta to be accorded more respect on the continent.

Arteta and Howe are the ones for EP best managers for their meteoric achievements demonstrable by the position of Arsenal and Newscaster from last season to this season. But Arteta is miles apart, having led top of the EPL table for most of the season and ending comfortable second this season from 5th of the 2021/22 season.
Arteta, Howe, De Zerbi, but if Pep does the triple it might just be him.
Hate to say it but Pep is my vote for manager of the season. Yet another title, could win the treble, who has managed a better season?
We have had a great season to finish in 2nd, but a “top 4 trophy” and nothing else is not manager of the season material.
Yes he deserves a nomination but Pep and Howe are probably ahead of him as far as achieving.
What about Marco Silva at Fulham?Steve Cooper if Forrest manage to stay up?
De zerbi at Brighton? There are a few. If utd win two cups and qualify for CL, what about ETH?
😂, you’re right,depending on the criteria people use there are a good few managers who deserve to be nominated at least!!I mean is MA finishing 2nd a bigger achievement than Cooper keeping Forrest up?ETH winning cups and qualifying for CL ?Howe/Newcastle finishing 3rd?Silva finishing in the top 10 with Fulham on their return to the PL??
What about the redoubtable Roy Hodgson who has done wonders for Palace, and just happens to be my age.
@Grandad,i believe Roy benefited from PV work.he recently admitted how surprised he was by the quality of the squad he inherited.i believe had PV been given a chance,he would have keep Palace up too.he was fired at the end of a tough run (some very close games and bad luck)and the start of an easier one and getting Zaha back too.
Would have kept*
😂 didnt realise it was still April fools day ,another awful end to a season which happened last season where every other top team as been horrendous, it’s been better for sure but with the outlay been given we should be expecting this .
Eddie Howe for me or Pep if he wins the CL .
Manager of the season lols .
Arteta absolutely deserves to be nominated and in the top 3
Sorry Siamois, I’m only nominating those managers near the top rather than crediting a lucky escape from the drop.
1 Pep if he wins the treble (otherwise Arteta)
2 Arteta for getting us so close or Pep if he fails to win all 3
3 Howe for a possible 3rd spot
4 Ten Hag for winning a trophy
Really @SueP? I’m quite surprised, you’re talking about managers of the biggest clubs biggest spenders..they are where you expect them to be or around.what about Silva at Fulham? O’Neil at Bournemouth?not many people expected them to stay up.i don’t know,I guess I see a manager of a small club with a small budget..keeping his team up or finishing in the top 10 on their return to the PL as a bigger achievement than Pep/City winning the PL or even MA/Arsenal finishing 2nd after having spent hundreds of millions on players.
Very competitive for manager of the year, because a number of managers have done excellent things this term.
Pep for possibly steering ManCHEATER City to a treble;
Mikel for our vast improvement (He’d have won it if we were Champions);
Eddie Howe for an incredible season with the Magpies (how on Earth has that back 5 stayed injury free all season ?)
Then Gary O’Neil was really up against it for a long time after the previous manager jumped ship. He has always stayed calm and dignified. Good young manager.
By the way do you think that some club owners actually want to be relegated and sack managers in order to do so (example Hasselhuttel – Southampton).
I am , Siamois 😔
You are right to point out Bournemouth who have really given it a go under O’Neill
Nobody mentioned Emery as a contender as he has lifted a very low on confidence Villa and then Moyes, who has got West Ham into the Conference final.
Those managers who haven’t played their part have been given the chop, so I am, after a serious review, still going with my original list. Annoying as it is, Pep has been superb even though he has the best at his finger tips and bags of money
😂, you’re right @SueP to mention Emery, he’s done a very good job at villa.what does that say about Gerrard as s manager.anyway with City through to the CL final,the PL title..looks like Pep will be manager of the season and rightly so!
Guardiola is widely accepted as the worlds very best coach, a view I share.
I think MA is also a top level coach but he is not yet,if ever, at Peps level. Simple truth!
Jon see post below
I posted you earlier about Ian Wright. Did you get it ? It’s on the “three factors” page.
Magpies did a real number on Brighton tonight. Caicedo was a bit all over the place.
EvGunner, Yes, I answered just now on that same thread.
