Arteta fears for Arsenal future

Mikel Arteta has admitted that he could lose his job as manager of Arsenal.

Arteta’s position in the North London club had not appeared at immediate risk despite the Gunners languishing in 14th place after a defeat by Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday. However, Arsenal have been inconsistent so far this campaign, impressing against Manchester United away from home but dropping points against the likes of Leeds and Aston Villa.

Arteta is tasked with getting the Gunners back in the Champions League but will need to see immediate improvements from his side to achieve that goal. The Spaniard knows better than anyone that poor results will see him sacked.

As Arteta explained, “It’s something that the day I decided to be a coach I know that one day I will be sacked or leave the football club one day
“I don’t know if it’s the day after I sign my contract, in a month’s time, a year’s time, or six months’ time. I never worry about it.
“My only concern is to get the best out of the players, give the best possible service to the club and become better and better.
“I know, I repeat, in this profession, one day I will get the sack or leave but I don’t know when that is going to happen.”

The Gunners board will reportedly continue backing the Spaniard for now as they don’t want to go down the road of chopping and changing managers with regularity.
