Pep Guardiola has revealed how his relationship with Mikel Arteta has changed over the years. The Manchester City boss appointed the former Arsenal and Everton midfielder as his assistant in February 2017 where they worked closely for nearly three-years.
The duo enjoyed great success with one another at the Etihad Stadium, winning two Premier League titles, two Community Shields and an FA Cup. But, in December 2019, Arteta left his position as Guardiola's deputy to become head coach at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite a turbulent start to life in north London, the Spaniard has finally begun to reap the fruits of his labour with the Gunners mounting a title charge this term. Arsenal are five-points clear of the reigning champions, though they have two-games in hand.
