Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has not been given the “statemented goal” for the campaign and will instead be judged in the club’s end-of-season review.
Gunner got off to a solid start to the season with three wins in four Premier League matches in his only 1-0 loss to Anfield’s Champions Liverpool.
That means Arsenal is already three points behind the Reds, hoping to win the Premier League title after finishing runner-up in the last three years on the spin.
The Gunners’ final major trophy was under Arteta in 2020, and despite approaching silverware on multiple occasions, it feels like the Arsenal boss has to start delivering the trophy after another big summer expense.
Former Liverpool striker Stan Colliemore believes that if Arsenal doesn’t win the Premier League or Champion League this season, he’ll replace Arteta.
Colliemore told 10-Bet Casino earlier this week:

“When I say I win something, he will be able to limp if he wins one or both League Cups and FA Cups.
“The amount they invested in the team, there’s no other option. You look at Unai Emery at Aston Villa and most of his team is made up of players bought by Dean Smith.
Colliemore added: “If Mikel Arteta hasn’t won the Premier League or the Champions League, I think we might see other places as Arsenal has been in the sixth year. That’s what the managers had reached a distant past.
However, journalist Ben Jacobs made it clear that if he doesn’t win the trophy at Arsenal this season, “there’s no suggestion that he’ll go.”

Jacobs told Givemesport:
“But, of course, Andrea Berta looks very calmly at whether Mikel Arteta is making the most of the resources he has available. There’s a season-ending review, and it’s not that he’s going to keep going.
“The proposal that Mikel Arteta is under employment pressure is not just a pressure to win, but a broad mark. These two things need to be distinguished: Arteta wins the project, but if not, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s about to quit his job.”
