Arteta to Become Premier League’s Highest‑Paid Manager

Arsenal are close to securing a new contract for Mikel Arteta that would place him among the highest‑paid managers in world football, according to TEAMtalk, which reports the Spaniard is set to become the Premier League’s highest‑earning head coach.

Sources told TEAMtalk that negotiations over Arteta’s new deal have progressed considerably in recent weeks, and all parties are increasingly confident that an agreement will be reached before the start of the new season.

As TEAMtalk has previously reported, Arsenal’s hierarchy has long aimed to secure Arteta’s future and reward the remarkable progress made under his leadership.

Those plans are now moving toward completion, with the club’s owners, the Kroenkes, fully backing the proposal.

Arteta’s current contract, which has 12 months remaining, pays about £10 million per season. The new agreement is expected to effectively double that figure.

The proposed package would bring him close to the level previously held by Pep Guardiola, whose Manchester City contract was worth around £20 million per year.

That would amount to a weekly package of £384,000.

Guardiola remains the Premier League’s highest earner until his departure from City officially takes effect on 1 July. After that, Arteta is expected to move to the top of the managerial pay scale in England and join the ranks of the game’s elite coaches worldwide.

New Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso is also among the division’s top earners, with TEAMtalk reporting his salary is currently around Arteta’s existing terms.

The club views the deal as a deserved reward for the transformation Arteta has overseen since taking charge in December 2019. Sources explain that the 44‑year‑old, who now boasts a 60.03 % win‑percentage record, is worth every penny.
