Men’s Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and his women’s teammate Jonas Eideval have signed new contracts. The deal of the Spaniard is until the end of the 2024-25 season, and of Eideval until a year earlier.
Arteta, who described himself as “excited, grateful and really, really happy”, said: “We want to take the club to the next level and really compete with the best teams. To do that, we have to play in the Champions League. We need to be able to develop the team, to improve our players, to improve all the departments, to generate even more connection with our fans, to improve the atmosphere in the Emirates, to be able to recruit the best, the best talents and the best people for this club to manage this project to this level. “
Eideval, who is in his first season at the club and entering the last day of the Women’s Super League with a chance to win the title, said: “It’s great. It allows me to continue working for a club I love so much and to to be among the people I really, really like, and to be able to achieve things together, so I’m really looking forward to that. “

Arteta succeeded Unai Emery in December 2019 and his team is in a good position to secure a place in the Champions League, finishing fourth with four upcoming matches. They are at Leeds’ home on Sunday before heading to Tottenham for a potentially decisive match four days later.
Josh Kronke, the son of owner Stan, said the family was confident that Arteta would “bring us back to the competition for the best trophies” and that Eideval would “continue to lead us forward”.
