Mikel Arteta, a former Arsenal footballer, has been the manager of Arsenal since 2019. Throughout his life, Arteta has been a true Gunner. Before Arteta’s arrival, Arsenal was struggling in the league. However, after he took over the reins, he changed Arsenal’s course and made them a contender for the title.
The impressive impact that the club manager made in a short amount of time reminded soccer fans of Sir Alex Ferguson, who had a similar impact with Manchester United in the early ’20s. Comparisons to Fergie are not uncommon for in-form club managers.
