Mikel Arteta could have been Pep Guardiola's successor – instead he's built his own empire at Arsenal
Mikel Arteta could have waited. For three-and-a-half years he worked under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, learning so much, the ultimate football coaching apprenticeship. He called the experience “incredible”.Back then, Guardiola felt Arteta might be the ideal successor when the time came, perhaps as early as the summer of 2021. Manchester City’s power-brokers held Guardiola’s ambitious young assistant in the same high regard. Arteta was less sure.
