EPL: I want to overtake Wenger as Arsenal’s best ever manager – Arteta – Newsad

In a bold statement that has got Gunners fans buzzing, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has declared that his ultimate goal is to surpass Arsène Wenger as the club’s greatest manager. Yes, you heard that right! The Spaniard recently secured a shiny new three-year contract, and he’s got one thing on his mind: promoting himself to the top of the Arsenal managerial hall of fame.

After a couple of seasons of Arsenal being genuine title contenders—thanks to Arteta’s tactical prowess—the stage is set for what could be a thrilling era for the North London club. So what does it take to make the leap from mere manager to Arsenal’s best-ever gaffer? Apparently, just a hint of ambition, a sprinkle of tactical genius, and maybe a small side of humility—because, let’s face it, surpassing a legend like Wenger is no small feat!

When asked whether he aspires to emulate Wenger, Arteta didn’t hesitate to respond, “Hopefully yes. My aim is to be my best version of myself.” In other words, he’s not just looking to be an upgraded version of his former boss but is keen to become a whole new model—complete with enhancements! Think of it like putting the latest software update on your smartphone; you know your old phone was great, but with a bit of tweaking, you could have something that handles those pesky app crashes (or, in Arsenal’s case, title droughts) like a pro.

Arteta’s time at the Emirates has certainly shown promising signs of progress. He’s already bagged one FA Cup and two Community Shields, which sounds nice, but trust me, if he wants to claim the title of “Best Ever,” he’s going to need to add a few more shiny trophies to the cabinet. He’s like a chef who’s whipped up a delightful soufflé but needs to serve up a full course meal, including that five-star dessert to really impress.

Let’s not forget the shadows cast by Wenger’s illustrious career—22 seasons at Arsenal, invoking memories of the Invincibles, breathtaking attacking football, and a knack for spotting talent like a kid in a candy store. Wenger’s reign has set an immensely high bar. On the one hand, Arteta is working under the weight of history and the legacy of Wenger, but on the other, he’s got the chance to create new memories for ardent Arsenal supporters who are hungry for a return to glory days filled with thrilling finishes and uncontainable celebration.

Arteta has demonstrated he knows what he’s doing—he has turned Arsenal from a floundering ship into a sturdy vessel that might just navigate the stormy waters of the Premier League. Fans have witnessed some impressive displays under his guidance, the kind that puts those dreaded years of lingering in mid-table behind them. However, one can’t help but chuckle at the notion of attempting to dethrone Wenger, who is practically an Arsenal folklore hero. Talk about reaching for the stars while strapped with a trusty old pogo stick!

So, what’s next for Arteta? If he wants to secure his position in hearts and history books alike, he’ll have to continue steering Arsenal towards not just participation trophies but actual silverware. Consistency is key—and also maybe learning how to police that dressing room drama, which can derail even the best-laid plans faster than you can say “team dinner gone wrong.”

As the Premier League gears up for another thrilling season of highs, lows, and the occasional VAR controversy (which feels more inevitable than morning coffee), Arteta has stepped up and put his cards on the table. He’s making it clear he wants to be more than just a footnote in the club’s story; he wants to pen his own epic saga in the annals of Arsenal’s storied past.

There’s a delightful mix of ambition in Arteta’s ambition—almost endearing, don’t you think? It’s like watching an ambitious toddler throw his toys around, convinced he’s building a majestic castle, when in reality, he’s just creating chaos. But hey, sometimes chaos leads to creativity!

To wrap it up, it seems Arsenal fans can rest easy knowing their manager is not just settling for “okay.” He’s crafting a vision so glorious it’s borderline delusional. Will he become the best manager in Arsenal’s history? Only time will tell, and with the excitement brewing in North London, fans sure hope that the wait is filled with goals—and, most importantly, trophies.
