Premier League Shocker: Arsenal Sack Arteta After Dismal RunPremier League Shocker: Arsenal Sack Arteta After Dismal Run London, United Kingdom – Arsenal Football Club has sent shockwaves through the Premier League by sacking manager Mikel Arteta after a dismal run of form. The Spaniard’s tenure has come to an abrupt end after a series of disappointing results, culminating in the team’s embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. Arteta took charge of Arsenal in December 2019, replacing Unai Emery. He initially enjoyed some success, winning the FA Cup in his first season and leading the team to the semi-finals of the Europa League in 2020/21. However, his recent performances have been nothing short of disastrous. Since the start of the 2022/23 season, Arsenal have won just one of their last nine Premier League matches, languishing in 15th place in the table. Their performances have been lackluster, with a lack of creativity and a shaky defense. The loss to Brighton on Saturday was the straw that broke the camel’s back, as Arsenal conceded four goals in the first half for the first time since 2018. In a statement released on Sunday, Arsenal announced that Arteta had been relieved of his duties with immediate effect. The club thanked him for his contributions but stated that “recent results and performances have not met the standards required.” Assistant manager Albert Stuivenberg will take temporary charge of the team for the upcoming match against Everton on Wednesday. Arsenal are expected to appoint a permanent successor in the coming weeks, with potential candidates including former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and Barcelona’s Xavi. The sacking of Arteta has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, marking one of the most high-profile managerial casualties in recent seasons. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can turn their fortunes around under a new manager, but one thing is for sure: the pressure is now on the players to deliver results and restore pride to the famous red and white shirt.
