Biography

Mikel Arteta Amatriain (Basque: [mikel arteta amatriãĩn]; born 26 March 1982) is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Premier League club Arsenal.

Arteta played as a midfielder in his playing career. He began his senior club career at Barcelona in 1999, but limited playing time led to a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2001, where he won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in his second season. Arteta joined Rangers in 2002 for £6 million and won the league and league cup in his debut season, scoring a 93rd-minute penalty on the final day. After a brief return to his hometown club Real Sociedad, Arteta signed for Everton in 2005 and was named the club's Player of the Season twice. He joined Arsenal in 2011 for £10 million and won two FA Cups before retiring in 2016. Arteta represented Spain through several youth levels but never played for the senior national team.

Arteta was appointed as an assistant coach to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City in 2016. He returned to Arsenal as manager in 2019 and won the FA Cup in his debut season and their first Premier League title in 22 years in 2026. Arteta has since become Arsenal's seventh-longest serving manager by games managed and the longest-serving current Premier League manager.
