Mikel Arteta 'one of the best coaches in the world' as Arsenal man opens up on difficult moment

Pablo Mari has called Mikel Arteta "one of the best coaches in the world" as the Arsenal loanee talks about the manager's role in helping him secure a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

With the 28-year-old defender looking to kickstart his career, he joined Udinese on a loan deal until the end of the season in the January transfer window after making just two appearances in the Premier League before that.

Mari has played four times for the Italian club in the Serie A since signing in January, and has revealed how Arteta played a big role in allowing him to leave the Gunners in order to get more regular football under his belt.
