Overview
- Arsenal announced on Wednesday that Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until June 2030.
- Club statements say the extension is intended to lock in managerial continuity for recruitment and long‑term planning under the Kroenke ownership.
- Reports from multiple outlets say the deal includes a substantial pay rise that places Arteta among the highest‑paid managers in the Premier League, though the exact salary remains unconfirmed.
- Key members of Arteta’s coaching and backroom staff have agreed aligned extensions and reporting indicates his role is now styled as 'manager', signalling broader authority over the first team.
- The contract rewards Arteta’s recent success — a 2025/26 Premier League title and a Champions League final — and positions him to become one of Arsenal’s longest‑serving managers if he completes the term.
