Arsenal Confirm Arteta Extension Through 2030
Arsenal have confirmed that Mikel Arteta has signed a new four-year contract, keeping the Premier League-winning head coach at the club until 2030.
Why the extension matters
The agreement removes any immediate uncertainty around Arteta’s future, with his previous Arsenal contract set to run out at the end of the current season. It also follows a landmark campaign in which he guided the club to its first league championship in 23 years.

| New contract end date | 2030 |
| Length of extension | Four years |

| Premier League title drought ended | 23 years |
| Other major trophy under Arteta | FA Cup, 2020 |
Arteta arrived in December 2019 after working as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City. He is now the Premier League’s longest-serving head coach, having overseen Arsenal’s rise from the early stages of a rebuild to domestic champions.
In a statement, Arteta said he felt privileged to continue at a club he described as distinctive in both character and feeling. He said the connection built during the past several years had produced lasting memories, while insisting the progress made so far was only the start of what the team could achieve.
Arsenal’s FA Cup success in 2020 was the first major trophy of his reign. Last season’s title added the defining achievement, ending a wait that had stretched more than two decades.
Co-chairs Stan and Josh Kroenke said the club were proud of what had been achieved since Arteta returned in 2019. They described the title-winning season as a significant moment in Arsenal’s history and said the ambition was to create further success in the years ahead.
Arsenal have also renewed the contracts of Arteta’s coaching staff for another four years, matching the manager’s new term and maintaining continuity around the first team.
