Many people who have worked with Mikel Arteta believe the Arsenal boss could do with toning down his ‘unwavering honesty’.

The impact Mikel Arteta has made during his five-year spell at Arsenal is undeniable. Arteta took over from Unai Emery back in December 2019 and went on to lift an FA Cup in his debut season.

It hasn’t all been plain-sailing for the Spaniard as he finished eighth in his first two seasons at the club. But the Gunners have gone from strength to strength under his guidance and are now challenging for the Premier League title.

Despite his success on the pitch, Arteta is a manager who divides opinion due to his touchline antics and sometimes brutal honesty in press conferences.

And The Daily Mail has offered some insight to what Arteta is like behind the scenes at London Colney.

What people who have worked with Arteta have said about the Arsenal boss

The outlet has shared some extra details of how Arteta has transformed Arsenal into genuine title contenders.

It’s claimed that Arteta expects his players and staff to take responsibility by creating a culture of ‘accountability’. Indeed, the Spaniard isn’t afraid of holding ‘uncomfortable’ conversations and is often straight to the point.

So much so that many who have worked alongside Arteta believe his ‘unwavering honesty’ could do with being toned down at times.

Arteta has never been afraid to express how he’s feeling after games and is often an animated character on the touchline.

But to be a top manager in the Premier League you have to be ruthless and it would appear that Arteta is just that.

He’s transformed the culture at Arsenal in the space of five years and being honest his with staff and players is probably part of the reason why he’s succeeded so far.
