Arsenal have announced Mikel Arteta as their new manager. The 37-year-old spent five seasons at Arsenal as a player, becoming club captain and winning two FA Cups. After leaving Arsenal in 2016, Arteta joined Manchester City's coaching staff under Pep Guardiola, winning back-to-back Premier Leagues in 2018 and 2019. He succeeds fellow Spaniard Unai Emery and faces the challenge of getting Arsenal back into the top four and the Champions League, a competition they have not qualified for since Arteta left the club as a player.
