Arsenal co-chair Josh Kroenke suggests the Covid-19 pandemic provided Mikel Arteta with crucial “space” to revive the club. He believes the lack of fan pressure during that period was a benefit, allowing Arteta to implement his vision, which ultimately led to their Premier League title win after years of transition and fan concerns.
Kroenke also discussed Arteta’s character making him an ideal candidate and reflected on the club’s difficult transition period after Arsene Wenger’s departure. He highlighted the strategic shift and the identification of key players like William Saliba during this time.
