"When Arteta took charge in December 2019, Arsenal were in one of their most turbulent periods of the modern era, languishing in mid-table, lacking identity, and facing a fractured dressing room. Fast forward to 2026, and the transformation is remarkable. Under Arteta's command, Arsenal have achieved three consecutive second-place finishes in the Premier League, returned to the Champions League semifinals last season, built one of the deepest and most tactically flexible squads in Europe and re-established themselves as fierce title contenders."
"Arsenal are top of the league and growing stronger Arsenal sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League, ahead of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. The combination of squad depth, defensive stability, and Arteta's evolving tactical approach has given the club their strongest title position since the Invincibles era. This dominant league campaign has only strengthened the board's belief that Arteta is the manager capable of delivering long-term success and finally ending their two-decade wait for a Premier League trophy."

Arsenal currently lead the Premier League by six points with strong defensive stability and squad depth, presenting their best title position since the Invincibles. Arteta now influences transfers, academy integration, and squad planning. The board views his project as entering its prime and seeks to secure long-term success.
