Mikel Arteta appointed Arsenal manager

Arsenal hired Mikel Arteta as manager on Friday, hoping its former midfielder can turn around the fortunes of the ailing London club after spending more than three years as Pep Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City. Arteta, who played for Arsenal from 2011 to 2016, takes over from Unai Emery, who was fired last month after a string of poor performances. The 37-year-old Spaniard faces a tough task ahead as he aims to rebuild the team and bring back the glory days to Arsenal.

Arteta's appointment has generated a lot of excitement among Arsenal fans, who remember him as a skillful and intelligent player during his time at the club. Known for his tactical acumen and ability to develop young players, Arteta is expected to bring a fresh approach to the team. With his experience working under Guardiola, he is well-versed in the modern style of play and possesses a deep understanding of the game. Arsenal fans are hopeful that Arteta's arrival will mark the beginning of a new era for the club.
