Arsène Arteta has become the highest‑paid manager in the Premier League, earning a reported £20 million a year, according to papers.
The new figure places Arteta above all other club bosses in England’s top flight, a move that has drawn attention from clubs and fans alike. The salary is part of a recent contract extension that saw the former midfielder step up from the coaching staff to the head of Arsenal’s first team.
Arteta has been at the helm of Arsenal since 2019, guiding the club to a Champions League final and a record of 19 consecutive league wins in 2021‑22. His new contract is seen as a vote of confidence in his long‑term project for the North London club.
While the exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, the £20 million figure was reported by a number of newspapers and has been confirmed by the club’s official statements.
The announcement comes as the Premier League continues to see a widening gap in wages between top clubs and the rest of the league, with Arteta’s salary setting a new benchmark for managerial pay in English football.
