EPL: Arsenal job cuts aimed at sustaining success — Arteta

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has explained that the club's decision to cut up to 60 jobs is aimed at enhancing operations and achieving greater success. The Gunners are set to reduce their workforce by up to seven percent of their 871 permanent staff. The job cuts will primarily affect several departments, except for coaching and performance staff in both the men's and women's teams, as well as the club's Foundation, Arsenal in the Community, and security department.

Arteta stated that the club's decision was made with the intention of evolving and improving the structure, allowing them to continue investing and achieving their long-term ambitions. The club's recent success, including winning their first Premier League title since 2004 and generating record revenues of £691 million in the 2024-25 financial year, has been cited to support this decision.
