Arsenal’s recent form in the Premier League has stirred up doubts about Mikel Arteta’s future at the club. The London club currently holds 14th place on the table, only three positions over the relegation spots.
One Europa League and one Serie A title threaten Arteta’s future. These are the biggest honors Maurizio Sarri has gained over his managerial career. The Italian manager has been unemployed ever since he was sacked by Juventus last season.
According to StadioSport, he may be coming back to English football sooner than expected. Although Mikel Arteta isn’t in immediate danger of being fired, Arsenal’s officials seem to have conjured up a backup plan. The Gunners’ start of the season has created mixed feelings. Their lastest Premier League performances have brought on some negative reactions.
Should the situation worsen, reports suggest that Maurizio Sarri is the selected manager to replace the Spaniard. The Italian’s Premier League experience with Chelsea was a short one, but enough to bring silverware to Arsenal’s North London rivals.
However, ‘Sarriball’ failed to help Juventus’ campaign in the Champions League last season, which brings up a few doubts: Could Maurizio Sarri help reduce the seven-point gap between the Gunners and Tottenham? And would ‘Gooners’ accept the arrival of a manager who stole their chance at a Europa League title?
It seems that for now, Mikel Arteta will remain as Arsenal’s boss. However, as he admitted in the past, the team isn’t creating enough chances in the final third. Perhaps that explains why Arsenal’s management is reportedly drawn to Sarri and his attacking football.
