Arsenal has extended manager Mikel Arteta’s contract until 2030, the club announced on Wednesday. His previous deal was due to expire at the end of the current season; no other contract terms were disclosed.

Arteta took charge in December 2019. Last season, Arsenal won its first league title in 22 years under his management and reached the Champions League final, where it lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.

The extension commits Arteta to the club beyond the deal’s previous expiry, as Arsenal seeks to build on those achievements. The announcement included statements from Arteta and co-chairmen Stan and Josh Kroenke welcoming the continuation of their relationship.
