'Pep taught me to be ruthless' – Arteta vows to bring 'incredible' Guardiola qualities to Arsenal

After making the switch from Manchester City to the Gunners, the 37-year-old has explained how the City boss has prepared him for the role

Arsenal's new boss Mikel Arteta has claimed being ruthless and consistent is what has made Pep Guardiola such a successful manager.

Arteta was announced as Arsenal's new permanent head coach on Friday, with Freddie Ljungberg having been in interim charge since Unai Emery was sacked in November.

He joins the Gunners after assisting Guardiola at City since 2016, winning two Premier League titles, two EFL Cups and the FA Cup during his time in Manchester.
