Raul Sanllehi claims Arsenal have made a "mistake" with Mikel Arteta role change

Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi has admitted he feels his old employers have made a mistake in changing Mikel Arteta's job title at the Emirates.

The Gunners have tried desperately to find some solid structure in the aftermath of Arsene Wenger's departure back in 2018. The Frenchman's exit spelt the end of the 'one-man model' that Arsenal enjoyed for decades, where seemingly every decision was run by Wenger before it was made.

Sanllehi was appointed just three months later in September 2018 to try and modernise the way the Gunners operated. The Spaniard is of the belief that the best way to proceed is to have a forward-thinking set-up that delegates clearly so that no one is burdened with an overly intense workload and can focus on one avenue individually to improve the collective fortunes of the club.
