Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta signs record-breaking contract extension until 2030

Mikel Arteta commits future to Arsenal with new deal until 2030

Arsenal have officially tied down Mikel Arteta until June 2030 with a bumper contract worth over £10m-a-year plus £5m in bonuses, making him the highest-paid manager in the Premier League. It is a fitting reward after he ended the Gunners' 22-year top-flight title drought in the 2025/26 season and guided them to the Champions League final. The new agreement ensures the tactician, who took charge in December 2019, remains the longest-serving manager in the division.
