BREAKING NEWS: Live from the Emirates — an Arsenal legend has called for Mikel Arteta to be sacked at the end of the season and replaced by a Champions League-winning manager. The legend expressed his frustration saying, “After this season, I’d sack Arteta for a coach who’s lifted the Champions League more than once. His time is up. He pulls off one good run and the fans forget that in three seasons of finishing second, there’s been no trophy. It’s exhausting now. Losing to Bournemouth just proves he’s not the right man for this club. We need trophies, not just three points.”

In a surprising and passionate development, a highly respected former Arsenal legend has openly called for the dismissal of current manager Mikel Arteta at the end of the season.

He strongly recommends replacing him with the experienced and successful Carlo Ancelotti, a manager renowned for winning the UEFA Champions League multiple times. This bold statement follows Arsenal’s disappointing 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, a defeat that has intensified doubts about Arteta’s ability to lead the club to major success.

The former Arsenal star did not hold back his disappointment. He expressed his frustrations by stating that Arteta’s time at the club should come to an end, as the manager has failed to deliver silverware despite occasional flashes of brilliance. According to him, Arteta tends to produce one good moment that keeps fans hopeful, but over the course of three seasons, the lack of trophies has become increasingly frustrating.

The recent defeat against a less-fancied Bournemouth side, he believes, is proof that Arteta might not be the right person to steer Arsenal towards consistent success. He emphasized that while securing league points is important, winning major trophies should be the ultimate goal for a club of Arsenal’s stature.

This viewpoint aligns with similar concerns raised by other notable football figures. Former Nigerian international and ex-Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi also voiced his criticism of Arteta’s reign, citing the massive financial investments made without a single major trophy to show for it.

Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Mikel remarked that after nearly seven seasons and a spending total approaching £800 million, Arteta’s future should hinge on delivering the league title in the coming season.

Additionally, Arsenal icon Jens Lehmann has questioned whether Arteta possesses the necessary qualities to take Arsenal to the next level. Although Lehmann acknowledged Arteta’s efforts in reviving the team’s competitive spirit, he expressed doubts about his capacity to turn Arsenal into title winners, stressing the importance of a manager with a champion’s mindset.

Carlo Ancelotti, currently managing Real Madrid, boasts an illustrious career, having secured league titles in five different countries and multiple Champions League triumphs. Interestingly, Ancelotti was once considered as a potential successor to Arsène Wenger but instead took up a position at Everton.

As Arsenal’s season reaches its conclusion, the club’s leadership faces growing pressure to reconsider Arteta’s position, with many believing that a proven winner like Ancelotti could lead Arsenal into a new era of success.
