Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is one of the best managers in Europe.
The Spaniard took charge of the Gunners when they were in a terrible position and has since transformed them into serious contenders for the big trophies.
Despite all his good work, there is a lot of external pressure on Arteta because he is yet to win the Premier League or the Champions League.
However, those who know enough about football are aware just how good he is.
What club presidents and CEOs messaged Mikel Arteta after Arsenal vs Manchester City
Arsenal secured a late draw in their last Premier League game against Manchester City.
The Gunners absolutely dominated Pep Guardiola’s side, who parked the bus for the first time ever to preserve their lead.
However, Gabriel Martinelli levelled the game in second-half stoppage time, and Arsenal deservedly avoided defeat at the Emirates.
After the game, Arteta received a ton of criticism from the usual pundits for the way he approached the game, but those comments should not matter.
That’s because presidents and CEOs of other clubs messaged the Arsenal manager after the game as they were blown away by the dominance the Gunners showed.
“I had a lot of messages to my phone, they could not believe what we did to Manchester City – people, coaches, managers, CEOs, presidents, so proud,” Arteta said, as per The Mirror.
“I look at the players and the people around. I am much more filled and fueled with that than with other ones that didn’t make it.”
What David Ornstein said would happen if Arsenal sacked Mikel Arteta has been proved right
Rival fans think Arteta is not good enough, and certain pundits are doing everything they can to discredit the Arsenal boss as well.
That has led to wild speculation that the Spaniard could lose his job if he doesn’t deliver this season, but we don’t think that’s right at all.
When the same noise emerged in January this year, David Ornstein said: “If Mikel Arteta was not the Arsenal manager, he would be snapped up within seconds by one of the biggest clubs.”
The fact that presidents and CEOs of other teams are in touch with Arteta proves that Ornstein was right.
If Arsenal make the mistake of sacking Arteta anytime in the near future, he would have multiple job offers on the table immediately.
