Mikel Arteta is under fire. Five seasons, no major trophies—except for an FA Cup and two Community Shields. Arsenal fans are restless, critics are sharpening their knives, and with the Gunners crashing out of both domestic cups and falling 15 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League, it’s starting to look like another season of “almost but not quite.”
But guess what? Arteta’s job is not in danger. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Arsenal board isn’t even thinking about sacking him, even if the Gunners fail to win the Champions League this season.
Why Is Arteta So Safe?
Despite the trophy drought, the Arsenal hierarchy sees Arteta as the mastermind behind their resurgence. When he took over, the club was a mess—big contracts, ageing players, and mid-table mediocrity. Fast forward five years, and Arsenal is a genuine title contender, with a squad packed with young stars like Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, William Saliba, and Declan Rice.
Romano made it crystal clear in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter:
“Yes, all under control at Arsenal and with Mikel Arteta as a key part of the project. Nothing will change.”
What’s Next for Arsenal?
The summer transfer window will be massive. If Arsenal can splash the cash to reinforce key positions, Arteta could finally deliver the long-awaited Premier League or Champions League glory. But for now, no matter how loud the critics get, his job is rock solid.
So, Arsenal fans, love him or hate him—Arteta isn’t going anywhere.
