Arsenal have handed Mikel Arteta a fresh contract through 2030, and reports suggest the new agreement has taken his salary to twice its previous level. That rise is believed to make him the best-paid manager in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Arteta explained what the club means to him after committing his future.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis club is unique, its character and the way it makes you feel, and I have a great sense of privilege that our journey together will continue. We have already built a special bond and created memories that will last a lifetime, and what is so exciting is that this is only the beginning of what we can achieve together.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to The Times, he is now thought to earn more than \u00a320 million ($26.4 million) each season across a deal that runs for the next four years. With Pep Guardiola no longer the Premier League\u2019s highest earner, Arteta is understood to occupy a category of his own in the domestic game.<\/p>\n
His earnings are also said to place him above some of the biggest names in world football. Only Atl\u00e9tico Madrid\u2019s Diego Simeone and Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s back-to-back Champions League winner Luis Enrique are mentioned as approaching those levels.<\/p>\n
The second-highest paid manager in the Premier League is reported to be on the opposite side of north London. Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s Roberto De Zerbi is said to earn \u00a312 million ($15.9 million) per year, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n
De Zerbi arrived at a difficult moment for Spurs last spring, with the club in serious trouble and fighting to avoid relegation. Since then, his influence has extended beyond the dugout, with the transfer window suggesting he has a major say in spending decisions as well as his own financial package.<\/p>\n
For Arsenal, though, the message is clear. Arteta has been rewarded not only with security until 2030, but with a salary that now stands above every other manager in the Premier League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
