Overview
- An ex-Premier League chief told Football Insider that owner Stan Kroenke does not want to sack Mikel Arteta and expects him to stay next season.
- Football365, citing Spanish outlet Fichajes, reports that Arteta could lose his job if Arsenal fail to win the Premier League or reach the Champions League final.
- Those same reports tout former Arsenal captain Cesc Fàbregas, now coaching Serie A club Como, as a leading candidate to replace Arteta.
- Just Arsenal reports that contract talks with Arteta were paused until the end of the season to avoid distractions during the title run and European campaign.
- Arsenal remain in a close Premier League race and are in a Champions League semi-final against Atlético Madrid, which makes the next few weeks decisive.
