Arteta's Job on the Line if No Trophy: Fàbregas Tipped as Successor

Reports suggest that Mikel Arteta's tenure at Arsenal could be over if he fails to win either the Premier League or the Champions League, with current Como manager, Cesc Fàbregas, emerging as the prime candidate to replace him.

While the season is far from over and Arsenal's position remains favorable, Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth has reignited long-standing doubts within the club.

As reported by "Mundo Deportivo," the primary concern stems from the substantial financial investments made in recent years, which have yet to translate into major trophy successes.

After seven seasons at the club, with a contract expiring in June 2027 and extension talks underway, everything could be turned upside down if the team fails to secure either the Premier League or the Champions League title.

In such a scenario, Arteta would not continue as Arsenal's manager next season. The board has reportedly already identified the ideal successor in Cesc Fàbregas. The Spaniard is enjoying an excellent season with Como, as his team vies for a spot in European competitions.
