Mikel Arteta has been named Premier League Manager of the Season after masterminding Arsenal’s triumphant 2025/26 campaign.
The Spanish coach received the prestigious award at the League Managers Association ceremony, just days after lifting the league trophy and ending the club’s 22-year title drought. His leadership transformed the Gunners into a dominant force, blending tactical discipline with attacking flair to secure the championship.
Arteta guided Arsenal to 27 wins and seven draws across 38 matches, with the team spending nearly the entire season at the summit after taking top spot in October. The side boasted the league’s best defence, conceding just 27 goals and keeping clean sheets in half their games.

This recognition caps a memorable season for Arsenal and validates Arteta’s long-term vision since taking charge. As the club looks ahead to new challenges, including the upcoming Champions League final, fans are celebrating both the title triumph and their manager’s well-deserved individual accolade. Arteta’s achievement marks a new golden chapter in the club’s rich history.
