Arteta named 2025/26 Barclays Manager of the Season

Mikel Arteta has been named the 2025/26 Barclays Manager of the Season after leading Arsenal to the Premier League title, ending the club's 22-year wait since the 2003/04 'Invincibles' season. Arsenal topped the league with 19 clean sheets and only 27 goals conceded across 38 matches, scoring 71 goals, and clinched the title ahead of Manchester City in the penultimate matchweek. At 44 years and 54 days old, Arteta became the third-youngest manager to win the Premier League, and the first to do so with a club he also represented as a player.
