Arteta was interviewed and disclosed that Arsenal considered letting Wenger coach when he left office.
Arteta said: "I never thought I was ready to coach Arsenal. I was still accumulating experience. (I was a coach at Guardiola at Manchester City). I devoted myself to almost all my time to work. My family lived elsewhere at that time, so you can imagine that during that time I was almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
"After Wenger left office, Arsenal inspected many candidates for new coaches, (including me), and held relevant meetings. I said to Guardiola: "Look, Pep (Guardiola's name), I haven't achieved any results yet. I've just been following you for the second year. What should I do in this situation? "You have to go because you're ready." ", "I continued, "really?" He replied, "You have to go." But in the end, it didn't work, and I worked with him for about three years. ”
