The Gunners administration will not fire Arteta despite the team’s dismal season, according to the Daily Mail (via SPORTbible).
At Wednesday’s Parc des Princes, Mikel Arteta saw his team lose 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain, resulting in a 3-1 aggregate loss. It was a pipe dream to go to the capital of France and win the second leg after falling behind 1-0 in the first.
Fabian Ruiz put the Parisians up 2-0 at the 27-minute mark and Achraf Hakimi doubled their lead at the 72-minute mark; however, Bukayo Saka scored a late equalizer for his team in the 76th minute.
The Gunners would finish the season trophyless regardless of the result of the match. The English Premier League title has already been won by Liverpool, not Arsenal.

After joining the Gunners in 2019, Arteta has failed to win any major hardware with the club since the 2019–20 season, when they won the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
Two Community Shields have passed since then, but the Gunners still haven’t won the major awards. According to a recent story in the Daily Mail, the club board has no immediate plans to fire the Spaniard. His player spending exceeds £600 million, with £105 million going toward Declan Rice’s acquisition.
