Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta started his managerial career facing comparisons with Pep Guardiola before more recently being likened to José Mourinho.
The Guardiola link was inevitable, a product of their friendship dating back to 1997. Arteta first met his idol at the Barcelona academy before working under him at Manchester City for three years as a coach. They view the sport the same way, and Arteta's Arsenal would look to embody many of the same traits.
The parallel with Mourinho is a more recent occurrence, a consequence of the Gunners' evolution into a physically imposing side primarily founded on resolute defending.
