Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has signed a new long-term contract committing his future to the Premier League champions until 2030. The 44-year-old Spaniard was entering the final months of his previous agreement, which had been scheduled to expire at the close of the current campaign. With formal terms completed, his managerial tenure in north London could now reach a full decade following his appointment in December 2019.
Stability remains the foundation of the project.
Under Arteta, Arsenal secured their first league championship in two decades last season alongside an earlier FA Cup triumph. A narrow penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in May denied the club their maiden Champions League crown, yet internal momentum has continued unabated. Discussions progressed swiftly as the manager repeatedly signaled his intention to construct a lasting era of competitiveness at Emirates Stadium.
The revised financial terms reflect that status.
Arteta will receive an increase on his existing £10 million annual salary, supplemented by an additional £5 million in performance-related bonuses. The structure drew comparison to benchmark packages in European football, where Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone and former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola earned upwards of £20 million annually. Following the announcement, Arteta described his role as a privilege, noting that the achievements recorded so far represent only the beginning of the club`s wider ambition.
Co-chairmen Stan and Josh Kroenke praised the manager`s cultural integration and tactical leadership across his five years in charge. They underlined that Arteta embodies the club`s institutional values and possesses an unwavering drive to build upon their collective foundation.
Securing the manager`s commitment ensures continuity for a squad now established among Europe`s primary contenders.
