Mikel Arteta:<\/b> Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new long-term contract with the club that will keep him at the helm until June 2030, the Premier League side announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arteta, who was appointed Arsenal's head coach in December 2019 before taking on the manager\u2019s role, guided the club to their 14th league title last season, ending a 22-year wait for their fourth Premier League crown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"It's a privilege to commit my future to the club and to continue to work with exceptional people who want the best for Arsenal.
