Arteta signs new Arsenal deal until 2030

Mikel Arteta, the current manager of Premier League champions Arsenal, has signed a new contract with the club that will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2030. The 44-year-old Spanish manager had previously overseen Arsenal's return to the top of English football, clinching their first league title in 22 years last season. Arteta also led the team to their first Champions League final in two decades, although they were defeated by Paris St-Germain on penalties.

In a statement, Arteta expressed his pride and privilege in committing his future to the club, praising its unique character and the way it makes him feel. He highlighted the special bond he has formed with his Arsenal colleagues and expressed excitement for the future achievements together. Arteta began his tenure at Arsenal in December 2019, following their promotion to the Premier League.

Arsenal co-chairs Stan and Josh Kroenke echoed the excitement surrounding the new contract, stating that the last season was an incredible moment in the club's history and that they are determined to create even more memorable moments in the years ahead. The club returned to Premier League action with a home match against Leeds on Saturday.
