This week marked the fifth anniversary of Mikel Arteta's first game as our manager. Here he reflects on his development in that time, what he's achieved and how he hopes this season will turn out
Mikel Arteta’s first game in our dugout was away to Bournemouth, on Boxing Day 2019, six days after he was appointed as our 20th full-time manager.
He’s now been in charge for 258 games, winning the FA Cup once and the Community Shield twice – and his overall win rate of 60 per cent is higher than any other manager in our history.
