Arteta Agrees New Arsenal Contract
Mikel Arteta has agreed on a new three-year contract as Arsenal Manager, ending uncertainty over his future.
The 42-year-old has been in charge of the Gunners since 2019 and has led them to successive second-place league finishes.
He had entered the final 12 months of his deal before signing the new contract.
When asked last month if he would sign another contract, Arteta called for calm, insisting his focus had been on the transfer window.
