Arsenal icon Santi Cazorla has been linked with a return to the Emirates in a coaching capacity under Mikel Arteta. The duo had played alongside one another in their playing days with the Gunners, and have taken different paths since.
Arteta went on to retire in 2016, spending time earning his coaching badges and eventually working under Pep Guardiola as an assistant coach at Manchester City. The Spaniard was then named the new Arsenal manager in 2019, with his shining achievement being an FA Cup triumph along with the plethora of youth talent he has brought to the first-team.
As for Cazorla, he left the Gunners in 2018 for a return to Villarreal before moving to Qatar with Al-Sadd SC. With his contract expiring in the summer, there were links surrounding a move to the coaching side at the Emirates, which he addressed himself.
