According to arsenal.com:
We’re delighted to announce that Mikel Arteta has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
Since joining us in December 2019, Mikel has been a key figure in re-establishing us as a force back at the top of English and European football and generating a renewed connection between the team, the club and our supporters.
Last season began with Mikel’s second victory in the FA Community Shield and ended with a second successive runners-up finish in the Premier League, as the team ensured the title race went to the final day.
During last season, we set numerous club records including our most Premier League wins (28), most Premier League goals (91) and our highest-ever overall win rate (67.3%) for any season in our history. Mikel was nominated for Premier League Manager of the Month seven times, winning it in February 2024 – the seventh time in his career.
We also qualified for our second successive season in Champions League football after a seven-year absence – all achieved with the third-youngest squad in the Premier League.
