5 Reasons Why Mikel Arteta Is Not The Right Man For Arsenal

#4 Arsenal need to bring in a proven manager

Allegri has been linked with the Arsenal job.

After 22 years under the same manager, Arsenal finally decided to part ways with Arsene Wenger because of his inability to win big titles. Wenger managed to last win the league in 2004 and hasn't been able to replicate even a fraction of that success in any of the 13 seasons since.

The Frenchman has also failed to win the holy grail of European football, the Champions League, despite coming terribly close in the final in 2006.

Therefore, when the rationale for letting go of Wenger is clearly due to his failure to land trophies how do we then reconcile that with the fact that a man who has never even managed a side, let alone win a title is now positioned to take over.

If titles are what Arsenal are after, they need to go for an already proven manager who has successfully steered his sides to titles, both in the drawn-out league season or in knock-out cup-competitions. And Mikel Arteta hasn't done either.
