Arteta's Arsenal: 22 Years, Six Rebuilds, One Title
When Arteta took the Arsenal job in December 2019, the team were tenth. He inherited a 1-2-2-1 dressing room and a recruitment department running on fumes. Six and a half years on, the club is a Premier League champion for the first time since the 2003-04 Invincibles. The arc between those two facts is the story of the most patient, most difficult, and ultimately most rewarded rebuild English football has seen in a generation.
