Mikel Arteta is focused on improving Arsenal following a disappointing season without trophies, citing injuries and the departure of sporting director Edu as key challenges. Despite the struggles, Arteta maintains clarity on necessary improvements, including potential player additions and coaching methodology. He acknowledges a personal bond with Edu, which makes the latter's resignation particularly difficult, but ultimately supports his decision for pursuing new career opportunities. Arteta is keen on assessing the team's needs and is determined to enhance the squad's performance for the next season.
We're very clear about what we need to do to improve. First, what is in our hands to improve and what we can do with the squad we have.
It was hard for me because I had built up an exceptional relationship with him. We had a chemistry, an understanding from day one that is very difficult to create with one person.
I had fun working with Edu and we went through some very difficult times and some very good times.
In the end, if that's how he felt and what's best for his career, I'm happy for him.
