Mikel Arteta has become one of the finest managers in football since he became the manager of Arsenal.
The Spaniard had no prior senior managerial experience before he took the position, which means he has learnt most things on the job.
However, he is now one of the finest coaches and Arsenal knows he could leave.
As his stock continues to rise, they risk losing the former midfielder and have planned for his successor already.
A report on Sport Witness says if the gaffer were to leave his role as the club’s manager, they would appoint Brighton’s Roberto de Zerbi as his replacement.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It may seem ridiculous to think about replacing Arteta now, but the world of football does not always offer guarantees.
The midfielder could want a new challenge in the next season and walk out on the job.
The club is already in a very good position and if we start losing games, the board could pull the trigger and sack him.
Overall, the key thing is to support him as long as he stays on the job and ensure we get as much as we can get from him while he is with us.
How did we get here
You’d wonder!
What is happening?
What brought this discussion please?
Who started this?
It comes from Sportwitness as stated in the article..
Don’t shoot the messenger!
More ridiculous and totally unrealistic FANTASY! SIGH!!
Who makes this stuff up?
Don’t mess this site up with such nonsense.
What a stupid and premature discussion point. Let’s just get behind and support Mikel Arteta, the current Arsenal manager.
We can be sure that the “powers that be” will handle succession planning when required.
We need Arteta,as much as we need the premier league cup. Lots of love from south Africa
Arteta could go on to become another wenger as view by me, as much as he didn’t have problems with his players, they will continue to perform at the very best, most especially the players coming through our youth ranks, when some players off the level drop in the level of their game, some other will pick up from there, the only problem arteta is going to face is if he started winning trophies and start feeling big, and does not keep respect for the players that make his work grow and if the unity between him and his players start falling apart, then the level of improvement can drop and he get sack, but behind that, I don’t see arsenal anytime ready to sack arteta.
Seriously, where is this coming from, we have not won the title as yet. There is so much more for Arteta has to achieve., champions league etc. Given the funds he can bring it all home. Arteta is so passionate about his job and having worked so hard to get to this position in the league, really do you think he would want to do soon.
This article is meant to attract comments and attention. Both are achieved
Rubbish talk. Nothing suggest arteta is leaving now or the fellow mentioned will maintained same result and productivity when arteta’s time will be up at arsenal.
How many successors(non) speculated took over from Wenger…
I very much doubt Arsenal have ‘ lined up ‘ De Zerbi as the next coach, who writes this nonsense.
4-5 days too late this article…
I see Arteta giving us at least ten seasons before possibly wanting a new challenge. Barring an epic collapse it is difficult to see the owners or the fans ever turning on the Rookie manager and his titanic wealth of knowledge
ep303, 10 seasons for an EPL manager would be an aberation these days; one only has to look at the current reaction to the previously successful Jurgen Klopp.
Let’s just support Arsenal’s current manager in Mikel Arteta in endeavouring to bring success to the Club, for as long as he is here.
Arteta doesn’t want to leave yet. And when he does, Zerbi isn’t next on deck, Wilshere is. He’s already at the club, has youth team playing well and in an FA youth cup final.
Is it time to discuss Arteta’s exit? I don’t think so. This writer is alien, right?
It’s not the right time to bring about such discussions.
