Frank Lampard Praises Arsenal Over Mikel Arteta Appointment.
Frank Lampard current Chelsea Manager has praised Arsenal over their appointment of Mikel Arteta as head coach. Former Arsenal midfielder Arteta was announced as the new Arsenal boss on Friday afternoon. Before joining Arsenal, Arteta had flourished as Pep Guardiola’s assistant, helping City win back-to-back Premier League titles.

Frank Lampard believes Mikel Arteta will be a ‘positive appointment’ by Arsenal, who have been coached by interim boss Freddie Ljungberg since Unai Emery’s sacking at the end of last month. Everton are also on the verge of appointing a new manager, with former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti set to be named as Marco Silva’s permanent replacement at Goodison Park. Asked about Arsenal and Everton’s moves for Arteta and Ancelotti, Lampard said: ‘Nothing surprises me and those two don’t.
‘I know the credentials of Carlo, he is a fantastic man. Arteta is obviously in a different stage of his career. ‘What I’ve heard about him, I think it will be a really positive appointment for Arsenal if they make that.’ Lampard’s Chelsea enjoyed a superb start to the season but have lost four of their last five Premier League matches ahead of Sunday’s clash against Tottenham.

Arsenal Confirm the Appointment of Mikel Arteta as New head Coach
Arsenal have confirmed the appointment of Mikel Arteta as their new head coach after the Spaniard emerged as the outstanding candidate in their search for a permanent successor to Unai Emery.
The 37-year-old spent five years as a player at the north London club, captaining the side and winning two FA Cups, before he hung up his boots in 2016 to join Manchester City as Pep Guardiola’s assistant. Arteta has been credited with playing a key role behind the scenes at City during their unprecedented domestic treble-winning campaign last season.
He said his goodbyes to the champions on Thursday morning, addressing the whole squad, though the manner of Arsenal’s approach is believed to have annoyed City bosses. Arteta met with members of Arsenal’s hierarchy at his home on Sunday evening following their clash at the Emirates – though City chiefs were not informed of the looming advances despite being in the directors’ box together earlier in the day. A seven-figure compensation payment will be made in order to compete the move, while Arteta is believed to have been handed a £5million-a-year contract.
Guardiola’s right-hand man came close to landing the Arsenal role in the summer of 2018 following Arsene Wenger’s departure, but the club’s board eventually settled on Emery as the legendary Frenchman’s successor. However, the former PSG boss failed to build on some early promising signs and was sacked last month following a miserable run of one win in nine matches, culminating in a shambolic Europa League defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Results have hardly improved under interim manager Freddie Ljungberg, who has managed just one win from five matches at the helm and saw his side comprehensively outclassed by City during last Sunday’s 3-0 drubbing at the Emirates. Arsenal have won just one of their last 14 matches in all competitions – and are as close to the relegation zone as the top four – with Arteta facing a monumental task to turn their season around, beginning against Everton on Saturday.
