Arsenal has made official the signing of Spaniard Mikel Arteta as the new coach of the team, after the dismissal of Unai Emery a few weeks ago. The Basque was until now the assistant of Pep Guardiola in Manchester City , and after negotiations between the 'gunners' and the 'citizens' has managed to start his way as first coach.
The task will not be easy. Arsenal has been moving away more and more from Liverpool and City for several years, the two teams that set the pace in English football, both domestically, in the Premier League, and continental, where the 'reds' are the current champions of the Champions League.
Arteta, 37, played 149 meetings with Arsenal between 2011 and 2016 before announcing his retirement and accompanying Guardiola on his adventure in Manchester. As a player, most of his career was part of Everton , with which he played 209 games between 2004 and 2011.
Precisely, Arteta's debut as a coach will be at Everton's house , this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Arsenal is now the tenth place in the Premier League with five wins, seven draws and five losses, four points from the places that entitle to play the Europa League and seven of the Champions League.
