Should Mikel Arteta be the best-paid coach in England?

Mikel Arteta has firmly established himself as one of Europe’s leading managers, particularly since the 2022/23 campaign, when his long-term work at Arsenal began to deliver consistent and measurable progress. Since then, the Gunners have finished second in the Premier League for three straight seasons and have continued to advance impressively in the Champions League. This sustained improvement has led many to tip Arsenal as contenders to win either or even both competitions this season, with the team maintaining strong form across all fronts.

Arsenal Confident in Arteta’s Leadership

Arteta enjoys the full backing of the Arsenal board, who are convinced that no alternative candidate could deliver a better standard of work on the Emirates touchline. They view him as one of the best coaches in world football and believe the club are fortunate to have a manager of his calibre guiding the project.

Although Arsenal have not secured a major trophy in five years, this has not shaken the board’s belief in their manager. Instead, they remain committed to maintaining continuity and ensuring Arteta has the stability required to push the team even closer to silverware. His current contract runs until 2027, but questions have lingered externally about what might come next.

New Contract Expected for the Arsenal Manager

According to information shared with Football Insider, Arteta’s position at Arsenal is secure, and the club fully intend to renew his contract. The report suggests that the new deal being prepared could elevate him to the status of the highest-paid manager in England, or at least among the top earners.

For Arsenal, extending Arteta’s stay is viewed as essential to building on the progress of recent seasons. His influence on the squad, his ability to develop players and his clear long-term vision have all contributed to the club’s resurgence. With the team competing strongly in both the Premier League and Champions League, Arsenal see Arteta as the figure best placed to lead them into the next phase of their growth.

  1. Why? Doesn’t he earn enough already. And just in case people haven’t noticed, as well as the team is doing. They haven’t won anything yet.

    So just hold back on giving him an even more obsene wage rise. Just saying. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    1. @Derek, spot on man.
      We still remember how laborious this journey has been, despite that he just got improved new contract last season.

  2. Ridiculous question 🙄
    Just to give Arteta haters like DEREK ammunition to fire their shots

    1. Corporate Man,

      I’m not an Arteta hater that’s a very strong word.

      Yes I don’t drool over him like some, but I certainly don’t hate the man. And I stand by what I said.

  3. 😂😂😂😂
    He’s already the third highest paid manager in the world ,so what you’re suggesting is he should be the highest?as his mate Pep,who as won a few more trophies “I believe “is at the top .
    So 1 trophy in six years is enough for that to happen ?

  4. In 2021 Arsenal was worth around $2.5bn and now worth around $3.4bn. Direct increase based on results on the price plus increased values of players

    In any other sector the person (s) responsible for that would get huge bonuses and share options

    Business owners like people who make them money

    Fans never appreciate that it’s a business now and rightly so the amounts being earned by players and managers are huge…but it’s a business !

    1. This makes sense. These sports people earn massive wages and that’s because the product they sell generates massive revenue.That’s just how capitalism works.

      Like you’ve alluded to, it’s more of a business calculation than a sporting calculation. If Arsenal finished tenth yet generate the most revenue in the league, I imagine they’d still offer the most lucrative contracts in the league.

  5. No, he is on enough already. BUT if he wins the league give him a statue and a payrise. Until then, he should be happy with his mountain of cash.

      1. He will then actually have achieved something. At the moment he is just a good manager and do e nothing out of the ordinary.

  6. In my opinion let him win a title or trophy first with the squad he built, then we can talk about pay raises extending contracts.

    Arteta has shown he can build and manage a top team; now he has to show he can win titles and trophies with that squad.

    No hate towards Arteta, just saying he has something to prove, just like the players in the squad.

    Last note, I fully believe this is the year, and I believe we can win the PL, and I am extremely hopeful we can win the CL as well. Why would any reasonable fan hope Arteta and our team fall short?

    I am aware some will never fully get behind Arteta no matter what he accomplishes, and there are also some who will support him regardless; lining up excuses, blaming strawmen, etc…..

    I hope title and trophy success can unite us fully, but there will always be extremes on both ends.

  7. Herr Drier and Jax are really the BEST in relation to their Arteta comments. Arteta will make us beg for his stay. I speak more about him if we beat Chelsea to effectively make the the race a two horse.
    City struggled to beat Leeds which we thumped with five goals even fielding then teens like Dowman and Nwaneri.
