Mikel Arteta says that advice given to him by mentor Pep Guardiola has helped him get through his low moments as Arsenal manager.
Arteta is about to embark upon his third full season in charge of the Gunners, having taken over the reins from Unai Emery in December 2019. During that time he has won 71 of his 131 games in charge, overseeing finishes of eighth, eighth and fifth in the Premier League while also winning the FA Cup in 2020.
While the Gunners now appear to be on an upward trajectory following a second successive summer of major investment in the transfer window, Arteta has endured many difficult spells during his tenure. Arsenal were rock-bottom of the Premier League following a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Guardiola’s Manchester City side on August 28, 2021.
