7 managers Arsenal are considering as Arsene Wenger's replacement

#2 – Mikel Arteta

Manchester City v Southampton - Premier League

Of all the managers mentioned on the list, Mikel Arteta is the only one who stands out. While all the others have managed or been head coaches, the Spaniard has only been an assistant coach for months.

He retired from football last season and joined Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. He has not even been with the Cityzen's for a year now and the Gunners are already willing to take the risk with him according to the reports.

Why Arteta would take the big job at this stage of his managing career and what is the 'X-Factor' that he would bring to the club? It is a very difficult thing to answer right now and it's very very difficult to see him being appointed too.
