Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with Arsenal that will keep him as manager until June 2030, extending his long-term future with the Premier League champions.
Arsenal officially announced the new deal on Wednesday, October 7, after months of talks over an extension. The agreement also includes new contracts for members of Arteta's coaching staff.
Arteta joined Arsenal as manager in December 2019 after working as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. He has since helped rebuild the team and guided the club to the 2020 FA Cup before finally ending Arsenal's 22-year wait for a Premier League title in the 2025–26 season.
The title was Arsenal's first league championship since 2004. Arteta's team finished above Manchester City after leading the Premier League for much of the season and securing the trophy in May.
Arteta has also established himself as Arsenal's most successful full-time manager by win rate. Reuters reports that he has won 62.05 percent of his 361 matches in charge, the highest figure for a full-time manager in the club's history.
The new agreement gives Arsenal further stability as the club continues to compete at the top of English football. The Gunners also reached the Champions League final last season, where they lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.
Arteta said he was proud to continue his work at Arsenal and described staying at the club as a privilege. He also said he believes the club's achievements so far are only the beginning.
Arsenal co-chairs Stan and Josh Kroenke also welcomed the agreement, saying Arteta's relationship with the club and its supporters was an important part of the decision to continue working together.
Arteta's new contract will keep him at Arsenal until 2030, meaning his time in charge could pass the 10-year mark. Arsenal are now looking to build on their first Premier League title under Arteta as they defend their crown and continue their push for more major trophies.
