Co-Chair of Arsenal, Josh Kroenke, described the Spanish football manager as “a dynamic and passionate manager”.
The former Arsenal player has helped the Gunners clinch several club records encompassing, Arsenal’s most Premier League wins (28), most Premier League goals (91) and the London-based club’s highest-ever overall win rate (67.3%) for any season in its history.
According to arsenal.com, Arteta said: “I feel extremely proud, very excited and am looking forward to what is coming next. I’m proud to be where I am and have the relationships that I have with everyone at the club.
“I feel extremely lucky to work every single day with good people and the ambition we have here. I feel very inspired, I feel challenged, I feel supported and I want to do much more than what we’ve already done together.
“Together with the players and everyone at the club, we are looking forward to the coming years, with our supporters, who have emotionally transformed the club and the team. Our supporters have transformed individuals and we are different now. You can tell that we are different and for me, that is down to them. We look forward to continuing the journey together.”
