Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has secured his long-term future at the club by signing a new contract.

The Spanish tactician has been in charge since December 2019 and has turned the club into a dominant force.

Arsenal ended a 22-year league title drought last season and enter this campaign as favorites to defend their crown.

Arteta has long expressed his desire to extend his managerial tenure, and he has now agreed to an improved contract.

His coaching staff are also nearing contract extensions, with a formal announcement expected soon.

Arsenal suffered a surprising 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League ahead of the international break.

The result leaves them three points behind league leaders Manchester City, though they remain strong favorites to retain their title.

They next face Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium.
