Arsenal has recently been hunting for a new manager to replace the outgoing manager Arsene Wenger.The list of potential manager has been made with four candidates including Former Arsenal skipper former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique, Germany boss Joachim Loew and former Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti taking the lead.
Apparently Arteta has won the race ahead of the three experienced managers with Wenger describing him as a great leader, passionate about the game, and knows the club well,what is important at the club and he was captain of the club.
Arteta who is currently a member of the coaching staff at Manchester City was given the green light to move on buy Pep Guardiola if he a bid comes in his way. Guardiola said he won’t stand in Arteta’s way if he wanted a move to the Emirates but Arsenal still had to agree a compensation package with the Premier League champions.
It is been speculated that Atrteta might be announced this week.
This will be the first time Arsenal will have a new manager for the first time in 22 years.
Reports suggests that Arteta will be given £50m to spend in the transfer window as the Gunners are already eyeing Dortmund center-back Sokratis Papasthatopoulos and Freiburg’s Caglar Soyuncu.
