Arteta Signs Arsenal Contract Extension Through 2030

Mikel Arteta signed a contract extension with Arsenal through the 2029-30 season, keeping him until 2030. He signed the deal alongside CEO Richard Garlick and Sporting Director Andrea Berta. Arteta, manager since December 2019 after starting as interim, said it is a privilege to commit his future to the club and that this is only the beginning. Stan and Josh Kroenke said they share a special bond with him, are proud of everything achieved since 2019, and that he carries Arsenal's values in his heart and is committed to building on what they have achieved together. The extension follows the 2025-26 Premier League title, an FA Cup, three Community Shields, and a Champions League final penalty defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Coaching staff also extended. Talks progressed during the international break. Arsenal released an emotional video on the news. Contested: Financial terms were not officially disclosed. The Times UK reports a £20m-a-year deal doubling his salary; the Daily Mirror and other reports say a substantial rise makes him the Premier League's highest-paid manager or among the top earners. Most outlets cite a 22-year title wait; the BBC cites 20 years.
