Mikel Arteta is set to become Arsenal’s most successful manager in his first 250 games in charge, overtaking George Graham and Arsene Wenger.
The Gunners are under pressure after failing to win four consecutive league games, leaving them nine points behind Liverpool after 11 Premier League games this season.
Saturday’s game against Nottingham Forest will be Arteta’s 250th game in charge of Arsenal, making him only the 11th manager at the club to reach this milestone, having won 146, drawn 43 and lost 60.
With this figure, regardless of the result at the Emirates Stadium, Arteta will become the most-victoryed manager in history in his first 250 games in charge, overtaking both George Graham (135) and Arsene Wenger (136).
“I’m so grateful, so happy,” Arteta said. “I enjoy every minute of being here because of the people I work with every day. Because I know how lucky I am to be sitting here and you always want more.”
“I am very proud to see the people who work in our organisation and how they feel about the club now. What we represent as a football club and a team. But the important thing is to win and I want more. I want big Promotion ufabet trophies and we are on our way.”
