Arteta took charge in 2019 and guided the team to back-to-back eighth-place finishes. Questions were asked last season when Arsenal got off to a terrible start. Klopp says, “Mikel deserved each minute he got there when it was not going perfectly well.” Chelsea’s firing of Graham Potter on Sunday was the 13th managerial departure this season — the most in league history.
