Cazorla backs Arteta to become a 'great' coach at Arsenal

Former Arsenal star Santi Cazorla has backed Mikel Arteta to become "a great coach" at the club.

Arteta made the leap into management when he left his post as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City to take over at the helm of the Gunners, replacing Unai Emery in December.

The north London side have lost just one of their seven games since Arteta took charge, but Wednesday's 2-2 result at Chelsea was their third draw in a row and fourth overall under the new boss.

Arsenal are now 10th in the Premier League and 10 points behind their midweek opponents, who occupy the last Champions League spot, but Cazorla is confident his former team-mate will deliver the goods at the Emirates Stadium.
