Arteta has given his first presser as Arsenal boss and it will surely have the fans delighted!
Mikel Arteta was appointed as Arsenal’s permanent coach, replacing Unai Emery after he got sacked. He left his job as Manchester City’s assistant coach and the 37 -year old already seems to impress when he spoke to the media as Arsenal manager.
“I’m extremely happy and proud to have been to been given the opportunity to be manager of this football club. I’ve been preparing for a few years now. I know the expectations. I’ve sensed good energy since I walked in at London Colney.
“[When leaving as a player], I said to the people [at Arsenal] ‘I’m going outside [the club] I’m going to get prepared and then hopefully I’m going to come back one day when I feel prepared and ready,” said 37-year old Arteta.
“I will give every drop of blood for this football club to make it better. I know the expectations and the stature of this club and what it deserves. I’ve got a good vibe. I’m sensing a good energy. I feel so happy!”
“What I have learned mostly is you have to be ruthless. I have so much respect for this football club that if I did not feel ready I would not be sitting in this chair. The first thing I have to do is change the energy. The players have to accept a different process, a different way of thinking. If we don’t have the right culture the tree is going to shake.”
We’re excited to see what Arteta will bring for Arsenal!
