Arteta reaches agreement on new long-term Arsenal contract
The Arsenal manager has agreed fresh terms to extend his stay beyond this season, with the new deal expected to take him towards a decade in charge at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta has reached an agreement with Arsenal on a new long-term contract, with his existing deal due to expire at the end of the season. Sami Mokbel has revealed that the fresh terms are expected to take his tenure towards a decade at the Emirates.
The development, reported on Tuesday, indicates that an extension has been settled in principle, although the club has not yet made an official announcement. In practical terms, an agreement suggests the key terms are in place pending routine formalities.
The timing removes uncertainty over Arteta’s future as the campaign progresses and offers the club continuity for medium-term planning. An extended commitment from the head coach would provide clarity for squad strategy and staff alignment.
Specific details of the new contract have not been disclosed. It is described as long term, with the report indicating that its length would carry Arteta close to a decade in charge, but without exact dates or salary figures.
Any final confirmation will rest with Arsenal, and an announcement could follow once paperwork is completed. Until then, the agreement marks a significant step towards extending Arteta’s stay beyond the current season.
