Mikel Arteta has officially been named the Premier League Manager of the Season for the 2025/26 campaign following a remarkable year with Arsenal.
The Spanish tactician guided the Gunners to their first Premier League title in 22 years, ending a long wait for domestic glory at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta’s side finished the season seven points clear at the top of the table after an impressive campaign marked by consistency, discipline, and strong defensive performances.
Arsenal reportedly took control of first place in October and remained league leaders for 200 consecutive days throughout the season.

Statistical reviews also showed that the North London club had the strongest defense in the Premier League, conceding only 27 goals and keeping 19 clean sheets across the campaign.
The achievement made Arteta the third-youngest manager in history to win the Premier League title.
He also became the first former Arsenal player to guide the club to a Premier League triumph as manager.
The Premier League confirmed that Arteta won the award through a combination of public votes and selections from an expert panel.
He finished ahead of several high-profile nominees, including Pep Guardiola, Michael Carrick, Andoni Iraola, Keith Andrews, and Regis Le Bris.
Arteta is also the first Arsenal manager to win the award since Arsène Wenger claimed it in 2004 during the club’s famous “Invincibles” season.
Attention now shifts to the UEFA Champions League final, where Arsenal are preparing to face Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest as they aim to complete a historic domestic and European double.
