Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with the Premier League champions until June 2030.
Arsenal announced the contract signing in a statement on Wednesday.
The club stated: “We are delighted to announce Mikel Arteta has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.
“The new agreement reflects our shared belief that the progress we’ve made and last season’s success is the beginning of a special period in our history.
“Mikel became our seventh title-winning manager last season as we were crowned champions for the 14th time. It was our fourth Premier League title and our first in 22 years.
“Together, we remain focused on building on that success, competing for major trophies in a sustainable way and continuing to strengthen the deep bond between the club and our supporters.”
Arteta’s deal had been due to expire at the end of the 2026/27 season, but if he sees out his new contract he will have been at the Emirates for more than a decade.
He said: “It’s a privilege to commit my future to the club and to continue to work with exceptional people who want the best for Arsenal. This club is unique, its character and the way it makes you feel, and I have a great sense of privilege that our journey together will continue.
“We have already built a special bond and created memories that will last a lifetime, and what is so exciting is that this is only the beginning of what we can achieve together. I’m extremely grateful to Stan and Josh (co-chairs) for their trust and support, and feel honoured to be leading this club through such a special period in its 140-year history.
“This is such a proud moment for me and my family. I feel the love and respect from our fantastic supporters, and they have mine – and ours – in return.”
Brighton thrash Arsenal 3-0 to go third in Premier League
Arteta, who replaced Unai Emery in December 2019, is now the longest-serving manager in the Premier League following Pep Guardiola’s departure from Manchester City.
The former Arsenal captain came under significant pressure early in his managerial reign at the Emirates but has overseen the club’s return to the top of English football.
Arteta also led the Gunners to their first Champions League final in two decades last season, but they lost to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on penalties.
Arteta has been in charge for 361 matches in all competitions, with his win percentage of just over 62 per cent the best of any full-time manager in the club’s history.
Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League, three points behind leaders City after a surprise 3-0 defeat to Brighton before the international break.
Arsenal return to Premier League action with a home match against Leeds on Saturday.
