Former Invincibles star Ray Parlour has explained how Mikel Arteta can become Arsenal’s ‘new Arsene Wenger’ and stay in charge of the London club for a long time.<\/p>\n
The north London side are aiming for a major double, the Premier League and Champions League, while major trophies could convince the Spanish coach to continue his project at the Emirates for a long time. years.<\/p>\n
Arteta is currently under contract until the summer of 2027. He took charge of Arsenal in December 2019 and has so far led the team in 350 games, with 211 wins and a 60 percent success rate.<\/p>\n
By comparison, Wenger ended his era with a 57 percent win rate, but with a remarkable longevity on the bench: 1,235 matches during 22 years. When the Frenchman left in May 2018, few in north London thought the club would ever again find a manager of similar impact.<\/p>\n
Wenger brought Arsenal three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups and the 2006 Champions League final, losing to Barcelona. Arteta could surpass him in this regard if Arsenal of 2026 beat Paris Saint-Germain in this season’s European final.<\/p>\n
The Gunners are also on the verge of returning to dominance in England for the first time since the legendary Invincibles side, with Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and others, finished the 2003\/04 season unbeaten. For this reason, there is also talk of a new contract for Arteta, as the Spaniard has turned Arsenal into a regular contender for the biggest trophies.<\/p>\n
Asked if Arteta can imitate Wenger and stay more than a decade at the Emirates, Arsenal legend Ray Parlour told GOAL that the first success is always the hardest.<\/p>\n
“He has quite a young squad. It’s a clich\u00e9, but the first trophy is always the hardest to win. If they manage to win two big trophies…”, said Parlour. “I really wanted them to win the League Cup, because it would show the players that as a group they have already won a trophy. But if they win the two biggest ones, the Champions League and the Premier League, it will give them a lot of confidence and security for the next season.” all the reasons to stay at Arsenal for a long time.<\/p>\n
“I’m sure he would stay for a long time. He knows Arsenal inside out. He knows the club. I think the connection with the fans and the players is very good at the moment.”<\/p>\n
“We haven’t won the Premier League since I played, 22 years ago. If they win it this year, it will be a big boost for everyone at the club. I think he can stay for a few more years, if he is successful this season.” When asked about his future, Arteta himself emphasized that a coach must earn the right to stay in office every day. “I think the coach must earn the right to be here tomorrow. It depends on how he reacts, how he speaks, how he enters the dressing room, what message he sends and how much the players follow him,” he said. him.<\/p>\n
Recently, asked about the possibility of following in the footsteps of Wenger \u2014 under whom he played for five years, from 2011 to 2016 \u2014 Arteta emphasized the importance of support from the club and especially from the players.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always said that you need support. From the owners and the board, it’s big. But in the end, the most important are the players. You open the door, you face talk to them and they may react with surprise or disinterest. “For six years, I have seen players with a great desire to learn and to give their best to the team. Nothing else, because our percentage is quite high. Otherwise, you cannot survive in this environment.” be postponed until the summer, to avoid any distraction at the crucial stage of the season. However, the expectation is that the parties will reach an agreement on the continuation of cooperation.<\/p>\n
At the moment, Arsenal are focused on the Premier League game against Burnley on Monday, where they can restore their five-point lead over Manchester City. Then, the “Gunners” will end the championship in a transfer against Crystal Palace, before the big final of the Champions League against PSG on May 30. \/GazetaExpress\/<\/p>\n
