Mikel Arteta is here to stay! On Friday morning it was announced that the Spaniard has signed a new contract that will keep him at Arsenal until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Initially appointed as head coach in December 2019 - later upgraded to manager - his first official game was the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth and it's safe to say much has changed in the two years and five months since, as he's overseen a major culture change at the Emirates Stadium.
In fact, when reflecting on Arteta's first press conference following his appointment he did not sugar coat what needed to be different. "The first thing is a little bit to change the energy. Last week I was here with Manchester City and I was a little bit down after the game when I felt what was going on," he said.
