The new Gunners boss wants to alter the mood within the club and bring a healthier, more positive culture as his first priority
New Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that he ‘felt a little bit down’ after witnessing Manchester City’s 3-0 win over the Gunners in his final game as Pep Guardiola’s assistant and wants to change the energy around the club.
The Spaniard has been announced as the permanent successor to Unai Emery, who narrowly pipped him to the job in 2018 after Arsene Wenger retired.
And Arteta insists that he is ready for the challenge ahead and wants to set about changing the culture and energy around the club in order to bring success and reconnect with an estranged fanbase.
