Arsenal football club has appointed their former midfielder Mikel Arteta as Head Coach on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Arteta won the FA Cup twice in a five-year career with the Gunners and succeeds fellow Spaniard Unai Emery, who was sacked in November.
The former midfielder had been working as a Coach under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, joining the club in 2016 after retiring as a player.
He is expected to take over as Gunners Boss on Sunday, leaving Freddie Ljungberg in interim charge for the trip to Everton, another of Arteta’s former clubs on Saturday.
Arsenal is 10th in the Premier League with 22 points.
