With 13 points from 12 Premier League games, Arsenal are off
to their worst start to a campaign in almost 40 years and the pressure is
building on Arteta, who was given the manager’s job last December after winning
two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups under Guardiola at
City.
“Arsenal don’t have a better manager that can lead this club
in this year and the next,” Guardiola said ahead of City’s home game against
West Bromwich Albion later on Tuesday.
“I don’t have to give publicly my support because he has it.
He’s one of the best managers I’ve ever worked with and seen.
“I’m pretty sure he will turn things around and perform like
everyone expects. When a club comes from not a good period, it needs time.
“If I was part of the board, I would not have any doubts
about his capacity to put Arsenal in the place they deserve to be.”
Arsenal technical director Edu said Arteta was on the right
track and predicted a bright future for the club, who have not won a league
title since 2004.
“Mikel is doing a great job,” Edu said. “It’s normal and
easy to be driven by results. But I can see the future, see where we go and the
way we are building things on a daily basis.
“I can see a big and beautiful future. It’s very strange to
say that in this moment, but I have to be fair – that’s the way I see it.”
