Mikel Arteta said he felt honoured to reach his 300th game in charge of Arsenal when the fixture against West Ham United arrived on Saturday. Six years into his tenure he has overseen a marked overhaul at the club, which the draft describes as now perennial Premier League title challengers and widely hailed as one of the top sides in Europe.<\/p>\n
Across his 299 games in charge prior to the milestone, Arteta holds a win percentage of 58 percent. That figure, the draft highlights, exceeds the win ratios of several former club managers, including Ars\u00e8ne Wenger, Herbert Chapman and George Graham.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel very privileged, I\u2019m really enjoying what I do with the people that do it, and we know in our job it\u2019s about winning a lot of football matches if you want to stay in the job,\u201d Arteta reflected.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other thing is while we are doing this, make sure as well that we enjoy our profession because it\u2019s got, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful things that you can experience in life, and trying to do both things at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He acknowledged the limitations of results so far: \u201cEven with that winning rate, we haven\u2019t won major trophies, so that shows the level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why you have to do what has been done before, but the level is not enough, it has to be much more. It is much more difficult, but that\u2019s what we\u2019ll try to focus on doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comparative table included in the original draft lists the managers and their records as follows: Mikel Arteta 299* games, 58%; Ars\u00e8ne Wenger 1,235 games, 57%; Unai Emery 78 games, 55%; Thomas Mitchell 45 games, 51%; Harry Bradshaw 235 games, 50%; Herbert Chapman 411 games, 49%; George Graham 460 games, 48%.
