Regarding this matter, Pep Guardiola opened his voice. Despite wanting to keep the assistant, the former Barcelona coach did not close the door tightly. He still opens the possibility of the former Everton midfielder returning to the Emirates Stadium.

“I have repeatedly told my players and staff that they are free to do whatever they want to do,” Pep Guardiola was quoted as saying by Football5Star.com from the BBC.

Furthermore, the man who also had time to deal with Bayern Munich said, “With Mikel, this is a matter of friendship. I want the best for him. I want us to stay together this season and next season. However, I do not know what is best for him.”

Had five seasons to defend Arsenal, Mikel Arteta had become an option when Arsene Wenger was certain to end his tenure in 2018. However, in the end, the Gunners management chose Unai Emery who had just been released by Paris Saint-Germain.

After ending his career as an Arsenal player in 2016, Mikel Arteta immediately joined the Pep Guardiola coaching team at Manchester City. Currently, in addition to being a candidate for the new coach of the Gunners, he has also been linked as a potential replacement for Marco Silva at his other former club, Everton.
