On August 29, 2020, things were going well for Mikel Arteta at Arsenal after beating Liverpool at Wembley.
Yes, only the Community Shield, but the victory came against Jurgen Klopp's previously all-conquering Reds side and marked Arteta's second trophy in a month after a fine showing to win the FA Cup Final against Chelsea.
That FA Cup result also made him the first Arsenal manager to win a major trophy in his first season since George Graham back in 1986-87, and in September his job title was changed from head coach to manager, consolidating his power at the club.
