Arsenal Hand Mikel Arteta New Contract Through 2030
Arsenal have tied Mikel Arteta to a new long-term contract running until 2030, with his key coaching staff also agreeing renewed deals at the Emirates Stadium.
The extension secures the manager who led Arsenal to last season’s English title, ending the club’s 22-year wait for the championship and delivering its 14th top-flight crown. Arteta returned to north London as head coach in 2019 and has overseen a major rebuild of the playing squad.
Who is affected
- Mikel Arteta: The Spaniard will remain in charge through 2030 under the new agreement.
- Arteta’s coaching team: His core backroom staff have also committed their futures to Arsenal.
- Arsenal’s squad: The title-winning group will continue under the same managerial and coaching leadership as the club targets sustained domestic and European success.
Across 361 matches in all competitions, Arteta has recorded a 62.05% win rate, the best return posted by any permanent Arsenal manager. The club sees the new contract as a key step in preserving continuity after the title success.
Arteta said he was proud to extend his stay and thanked co-chairs Stan and Josh Kroenke for their backing. He praised the connection formed with the players and supporters, insisting Arsenal’s work is far from complete.
“It is a privilege to continue my future here and work alongside people who want the very best for Arsenal,” Arteta said. “This club has a unique character, and I feel extremely fortunate that our journey will go on.
“We have built a special connection and shared moments that will stay with us for life. The exciting part is that this is just the start of what we can achieve together.”
What happens next
- Arteta and his renewed coaching group will lead Arsenal’s preparations for the next campaign.
- The club’s hierarchy will seek to build on the title-winning season while maintaining its financial and cultural principles.
- Arsenal’s stated objective is to challenge consistently for major honours in England and Europe during Arteta’s extended tenure.
Stan and Josh Kroenke said the manager’s understanding of Arsenal and its values made him central to the next phase of the project. Chief executive Richard Garlick added that the club wants to establish a lasting winning period with Arteta at its centre.
