Arteta agree to replace Wenger with a 'hot seat' at Arsenal

Although Arteta and Arsenal have not signed the deal, the former 36-year-old midfielder returns to the rooftops of the Emirates to be announced in the next few days. In the past, Arteta spent five years playing for Arsenal, before becoming assistant manager at Pep Guardiola in the summer of 2016.

In the half-green Manchester, Arteta quickly became the "right hand" of Pep, and contributed significantly in winning the Premier League 2017/18 Manchester City.

Arteta was praised by Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis. He believes a young coach like Arteta will have a role in the structure of modern European football today. Since the 2003/04 season, the Gunners have not added another crown in the Premiership, and they hope Arteta will help the club achieve this.

Arteta will most likely have his own assistant team as Arsenal captain. In addition, Gen Santi Cazorla may also be part of the training team of the former Spanish midfielder. Meanwhile, the future of Steve Bould and Jens Lehmann remains unclear, although both have received offers to stay in the Emirates.
