Mikel Arteta’s tenure as Arsenal manager has marked a significant turnaround for the club. Since his appointment in December 2019, Arteta has steered the Gunners from a state of turmoil to competing at the top of multiple fronts. After years of finishing outside the Champions League spots, the team currently leads the Premier League and is performing well in the Champions League and domestic cups.
Arteta’s 200 Wins: A Milestone Achieved
On the heels of Arsenal’s victory against Kairat Almaty in the final league phase, Arteta celebrated his 200th win as manager. This milestone comes just over six years after he took charge. At 43 years old, Arteta became the 34th manager in history to reach this achievement at a top-five league club.

Arteta’s achievement is noteworthy, especially when compared to other illustrious figures, including Jürgen Klopp and Sir Alex Ferguson. Klopp reached 200 wins in 330 games at Liverpool, while Ferguson achieved this in 337 games during his time at Manchester United.
The Road Ahead for Arsenal
Despite not yet having a trophy under his belt, Arteta’s performance suggests that success may be just around the corner. The Gunners are poised for a promising season, aiming to capitalize on their strong league position and deep cup runs.
As the pressure mounts, Arteta’s ability to translate wins into trophies will be the ultimate test of his managerial prowess. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if this upward trajectory will culminate in silverware this season.
