What happened: Mikel Arteta agreed a long-term extension to remain in charge at the Premier League champions. The 44-year-old will now stay at the Emirates beyond a decade.
Why it matters: Arsenal secure continuity while defending the league title. Stability under Arteta preserves the project that delivered a Champions League final return after a 20-year gap.
By the numbers: Tenure to exceed 10 years at the Emirates; Champions League final return ended 20-year wait.
What to watch: Watch for official club confirmation with contract length and terms.
