The club announced that Arteta, whose deal was due to expire at the end of the season, has signed a fresh agreement that will see him remain in charge for at least another year, extending his tenure beyond a decade in the Arsenal dugout.
Arsenal’s hierarchy said the extension reflects Arteta’s “deserved” contribution, noting that he has transformed the team and reignited supporters’ optimism after a period of under‑achievement.
The decision was widely anticipated; Arsenal have repeatedly signalled their intention to retain the Spanish manager, and the new contract aligns with the club’s ambition to maintain continuity heading into the summer transfer window.
Arteta, who has become the longest‑serving manager across the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two, said his focus at the close of last season was on on‑field performance, with the upcoming summer window offering an opportunity to strengthen the squad.
Club officials added that there is “nothing to be concerned about” and that the same ambition and will that have driven recent progress will continue under the renewed partnership.
