Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta will not takeover at Manchester City in the nearest future, William Gallas has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he believes Manchester City will want to go for Mikel Arteta when Pep Guardiola leaves, but he does not think the Spaniard will accept the offer to leave the Gunners.
Gallas added that Arteta is very committed to Arsenal for the long-term, and he expects him to turn down any other club wanting his services.
His words, “I think Manchester City could come in for Mikel Arteta when Pep Guardiola leaves, but I think Arteta will reject it.
“He has done so well with Arsenal and it looks like he is still committed for the long-term, he won’t give up that connection to the board. If City do come in for Mikel Arteta, he would reject it.”
WOW.
Arsenal Football Club is an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. Arsenal compete in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.
The club has won 13 league titles (including one unbeaten title), a record 14 FA Cups, two League Cups, 17 FA Community Shields, the Football League Centenary Trophy, one European Cup Winners’ Cup and one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. In terms of trophies won, it is the third-most successful club in English football.
After conducting an overhaul in the club’s operating model to coincide with Wenger’s departure, Spaniard Unai Emery was named as the club’s new head coach on 23 May 2018. He became the club’s first ever ‘head coach’ and second manager from outside the United Kingdom.
In Emery’s first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the Europa League. On 29 November 2019, Emery was dismissed as manager and former player and assistant first team coach Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as interim head coach. On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win. After the season, Arteta’s title was changed from head coach to manager.
