Arsenal extends Arteta's contract until 2030

Spanish manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract that will keep him at Arsenal until 2030, after leading the club last season to its first English Premier League title since 2004, the London club announced. Arteta’s current deal with the Gunners was set to expire at the end of the current season.

Speaking after signing the new contract, Arteta, 44, said: “It is an honor to commit my future to the club and to continue working with exceptional people who want the best for Arsenal. This club is unique, with its own character and the feeling it gives you, and I feel great pride that our journey together will continue.” He added, “We have already built a special bond and created memories that will last a lifetime, and the exciting thing is that this is only the beginning of what we can achieve together.”

Arteta took charge of the North London club in December 2019, after having played for them between 2011 and 2016. Last season, he led the team’s return to the pinnacle of English football, securing their first Premier League title since 2004, during the golden era under French manager Arsene Wenger.
