Arteta taking on extra responsibility at Arsenal with switch to 'first-team manager' title

Mikel Arteta looks set to be granted extra responsibility at Arsenal after having his official title changed from 'head coach' to 'first-team manager'.

The Gunners confirmed the switch on Thursday as Arteta looks to take his side up the Premier League table.

After a poor start under Unai Emery, Arteta could only guide Arsenal to eighth in 2019-20, but there were clear signs of their potential as they beat Manchester City and Chelsea to win the FA Cup - as well as wins over Liverpool in the league and Community Shield.
