Mikel Arteta celebrated six years as Arsenal head coach in December, inheriting a team that was struggling to find its identity following Arsene Wenger’s departure 18 months earlier.
He would become the first Arsenal manager since George Graham in 1987 to win a trophy in his first season in charge when his side lifted the FA Cup in May 2020 and after three consecutive second-place finishes, his side are well-placed to win their first Premier League title for 22 years, ahead of the run-in.
