"Yes, but it is about today. A lot of things have to happen in the next few months as well, to earn the right."
"I think the manager has to earn the right to be here tomorrow. That is how you react, how you talk here, how you go in the dressing room, the message that you send, how much the players follow you."
"For six years, I have seen just players with a level of attention and desire to learn and give the maximum to the team. That is what keeps me in this job. Nothing else."
"And, obviously, winning a lot of football matches that, percentage-wise, I think is quite high. That is the only way. If not, you cannot survive in this environment."
Mikel Arteta returned to Arsenal in 2019 after ending his playing career and following Unai Emery's dismissal. He engineered a dramatic turnaround that restored Arsenal to consistent Premier League title contention and produced an FA Cup in his first season. Arteta's Premier League win percentage of 59% is the highest among the five permanent Arsenal managers listed. Arsenal finished as runners-up in three consecutive seasons and recorded 74 points last term, down from 84 and 89 in earlier campaigns. Arteta is contracted through 2026–27 but states he must earn the right to continue by results and leadership.
