‘This is why we call Arteta a ‘BABY COACH’. How can a player be good this season if you are already planning to sell him and want to win trophies? ‘NO WAY'” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp blasts Mikel Arteta for seeking to sell Key Man in the summer, who has been assisting them for a long time.
Arsenal will lose a crucial player from the first team at the conclusion of the season, throwing Mikel Arteta’s plans into turmoil.
Though Arsenal is presently fighting for the Premier League title and remains in the Champions League, Arteta may face a difficult task in retaining a crucial part of the club.
Indeed, Arteta’s coaching staff has been crucial to the Gunners’ success during his four years in command, but that might all change in the summer.
According to The Guardian, Mikel Arteta’s assistant Carlos Cuesta could leave Arsenal in the summer to become a manager in his own right, with Championship clubs like Norwich City showing strong interest in the Spaniard.
Cuesta, who is still only 28 years old, joined Arsenal in 2020 and has helped to turn around the club’s fortunes alongside Arteta. Arsenal have gone from Premier League outsiders to title challengers under Arteta’s tutelage in the last four seasons.
Cuesta has also oversaw the development of talented players such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Emile Smith-Rowe, but he may now be tempted to take his first managerial post after demonstrating his abilities at Arsenal.
According to the source, Norwich are the most likely club to try to lure the former Juventus youth coach away from the Gunners, with sports director Ben Knapper – Arsenal’s loans manager as recently as November 2023 – keen in replacing David Wagner with Cuesta.
