Four-year-contract secures Spaniard’s future

Title winner is Premier League’s best-paid manager
Mikel Arteta has promised “this is only the beginning” of what he can achieve as Arsenal manager after signing a new long-term contract that would take his reign at the club beyond a decade if he sees it out.
The Spaniard is understood to have signed a four-year deal worth more than £20m a season, making him the best-paid Premier League manager. That is a hefty pay rise in recognition of his success last season as Arsenal ended their 22-year wait to be crowned champions after three successive runners-up finishes.
