London's Arsenal is reportedly preparing to dismiss head coach Mikel Arteta if the club fails to secure major silverware this season.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing Spanish media outlets, that the club's management is prepared to take decisive action should the "Gunners" miss out on the English Premier League title once again.
Arteta has been at the helm of the London club for over six years. During this tenure, he has received significant financial backing to build a competitive squad.
However, after finishing with silver medals for consecutive seasons, the club's leadership has begun to question the long-term trajectory. There is a growing consensus within the club that the Spanish specialist may have reached his ceiling and might be unable to lead the team to the next level of domestic and European success.
Mikel Arteta, a former Arsenal midfielder, took over as manager in December 2019 following the departure of Unai Emery. While he successfully led the team to an FA Cup victory in 2020, the primary objective for the North London club remains winning the Premier League title for the first time since the 2003-2004 season. The pressure has intensified as Arsenal has emerged as the primary challenger to Manchester City in recent years, yet failed to overtake them in the final stages of the campaign.
