Next Arsenal Manager Odds
Mikel Arteta is the current manager of Arsenal FC and after a successful campaign during the 2022/23 season, that doesn't look likely to change anytime soon. Since taking over the role in 2019, Arteta has led Arsenal to gradual improvements every single season. Arteta has won the FA Cup and Community Shield (twice), during his spell at the club and has become a fan favourite manager, leading Arsenal to the third best points total in their history in 2022/23. Only Arsene Wenger has picked up more points in a top division season for Arsenal, they were in 2001/02 and 2003/04 - during both seasons Arsenal won the title.
Next Manager to be Sacked Odds
Arteta definitely would have preferred Arsenal to perform better in cup competitions during his tenure. However, Arsenal's priority was getting back into the Champions League and as it stands, Arsenal look like one of the teams who are almost guaranteed to make Europe's top competition at the start of each season.
If you're looking for Arsenal manager betting odds, then it's likely that we'll be waiting until at least the end of the 2023/24 season as Arsenal look to compete on multiple fronts.

- List includes last 5 managers
Arsenal have a very decorated list of previous managers with Arsene Wenger and George Graham's reigns lasting exceptionally long. For the most part, these spells were exceptional times for Arsenal fans. They give their managers time during the tough spells, meaning that the chances for a change of manager at the Emirates is very small.

Who could be Arsenal next manager?
Many questions have to be asked regarding Mikel Arteta and if Pep Guardiola was to leave Manchester City, would Arteta take over from his teacher? Would the Arsenal board let him leave? And who would be the next permanent manager afterwards, as Arteta is a fans favourite, Arteta's position at the club is down to him, it is unlikely that he will leave the club in the near future but if Arteta was to go, the Arsenal board may look to an English manager and try to poach Eddie Howe from Newcastle United - providing Howe doesn't take the England job.
One man who was linked with the role before taking the job at Crystal Palace was Patrick Vieira but the former Arsenal midfielder didn't impress during his spell in English football and it would be very unlikely if we saw him managing Arsenal in the coming years. Other names such as Freddie Ljungberg, Antonio Conte and Brendan Rodgers have been linked with taking charge of the club but none seem like a good fit for where this Arsenal team want to go.
