Arsenal is poised to make a significant statement of confidence in their current leadership by offering new long-term contracts to manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar, reports Team Talk.
This move underscores the club’s belief in the duo’s ability to steer the Gunners towards a bright future.
Arteta, who took the helm in December 2019, has been instrumental in reshaping Arsenal’s identity and playing style. Despite facing initial challenges, the Spaniard has gradually implemented his philosophy, leading to improved performances and a renewed sense of optimism among fans.
The decision to extend Arteta’s contract comes on the heels of Arsenal’s impressive form this season, which has seen them emerge as genuine title contenders once again. The team’s progress under Arteta’s guidance has not gone unnoticed, with the board recognising the importance of stability and continuity in achieving long-term success.
Edu’s role in Arsenal’s recent resurgence has been equally crucial. His work in player recruitment and youth development has helped build a squad that aligns with Arteta’s vision. The club’s commitment to both Arteta and Edu signals a united front in their pursuit of silverware and a return to Champions League football.
As Arsenal looks to cement its place among the Premier League’s elite, these contract extensions represent a clear vote of confidence in the current leadership’s ability to deliver sustained success.

I think they should come with conditions at this point, in much the same way as Wenger and Emery.
The “project/ process” is complete after the 5th stage or 6th, I’ve last track at this point.
Massive financial outlays have supported them, 4 and a half years in time, and a complete squad and depth of their hand picked players.
Asking for a trophy (even FA Cup) seems more than reasonable considering they will be getting rather large pay increases.
Unless top 4 is still a trophy, I’m waiting on confounded that.
Confirmation I meant, my referee spell checker blew that call. Too soon?
Stop Durand with the honesty and reality, It’s truly Pathetic that we lost 2 points at the weekend, We are a million miles away from winning this League.
After this transfer window Edu still has a lot to prove. All this promise of unearthing south american talents, taking weeks to get Merino in and not in time for preseason (won’t see him till xmas now), shipping out ESR and three other notable attackers and in response getting a loaned player who’s most likely past it. We’ve done nothing to put pressure on City.
Fantastic news 🫶
@Free. That absolutely trash. You are being economical with the thruth. You don’t throw away the baby with the bathing bowl. Let go back to the last two seasons. The loss of William Saliba to injury cost us the title, not minding the fact that the players were still gelling and we finished second at the end. 2023/2024. We all knew what actually happened. We were the team that scored most goals. We need to give the players room for improvement which is what the Management are doing. The Scouting/Coaching team are presently doing a yeoman job, they ought to be commended rather than being castigated. Don’t you know how many players and coaches Chelsea Football Club has bought and sent forth at the same time. Please let us not distract the attention of the Management but rather support their lofty mission for success. I am optimistic that we won’t be empty handed at the end of this football season.
I think it’s good news at this point in the development of the team/club.
That said, should Arsenal fail to win the EPL this season (I guess the CL would do as an alternative, but that’s not really very likely) I suspect that 2025-26 could quickly become “make or break” time for the duo – regardless of contracts.
After all, contracts have never stopped coaches or Sporting Directors from parting company with football clubs if the owners/board think it’s necessary for “the next step forward”, or whatever trite phrase is used when parting company.
KSE needs a successful Arsenal on the pitch (trophies) and off the pitch (financially) so that they can sell the club at as big a profit as possible when they judge the time is right. That could be with Arteta/Edu in situ, or without them.
