Citing the British newspaper `The Athletic' on the 12th (Korea time), the British newspaper `Arteta has agreed to a new three-year contract with Arsenal. Arteta's contract with Arsenal expires at the end of this season. The new contract extends his contract to June 2027.
The two-week A-match break is over. The English Premier League (EPL) will resume. Arsenal will play Tottenham in the fourth round of the EPL 2024-2025 season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 10 p.m. on the 15th. It is the first 'North London Derby' this season.
Arsenal have two wins, one draw and Tottenham have one win, one draw and one loss. However, Arsenal's power leakage is large. Arsenal will not be able to play due to injury after Mikel Merino with Declan Rice absent due to suspension.
Arsenal agreed to renew their contract ahead of Tottenham's match to give Arteta a boost on a difficult journey. Spain coach Arteta has always been suggested to go to Barcelona.
He denied it, but there was a flurry of controversy. The renewal is expected to address those concerns. 'The Athletic' added that Arsenal and Arteta agreed to a new contract to eliminate uncertainty about the future.
Arteta took the helm of Arsenal on December 22, 2019, after assisting Pep Guardiola as the head coach at Manchester City. He won the FA Cup in his first season, but he was on the verge of being dismissed as he finished eighth for two consecutive seasons in the EPL.
In the 2021-2022 season, he failed to enter the 'Big 4' due to being behind Tottenham. Finished the EPL in fifth place. And in the 2022-2023 season and last season, he ranked second after Manchester City for two consecutive seasons.
Arteta continues to curve upward in the EPL as a result. He has played 235 games for Arsenal with 139 wins, 39 minutes and 57 losses and a 59.1% win rate.
