Gunners boss Mikel Arteta insists he is not thinking too far ahead about his long-term future on the five-year anniversary of his appointment as ARSENAL boss.
Arteta took over a struggling 10th-placed side three weeks after Unai Emery had been sacked ans has transformed the Gunners into one of the most dynamic, exciting and consistent teams to watch in the Premier League.
They may be off the points in the Premier League as Liverpool lead the way, but there is a feeling that Arsenal will continue to fight for that title until the very end of the season, and may pick up a trophy or two in the process.
However – despite that new contract at the Emirates, much has been been said about the lon-term plans for Arteta as there is constant speculation that he is one manager that the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and even Manchester City are keeping a close eye on.
But now Arteta has admitted that he remains emphatic about how much he enjoys the role at Arsenal – and is not thinking too much about the future – Put to him if he could imagine himself as Arsenal boss another five years down the line, Arteta instantly replied: “No. I mean, I think you have to live in the present in this job, and obviously you have to plan for what’s coming in the mid-term and long-term, that’s for sure, and we have a lot of conversations regarding that.
“But I think the energy has to be in the moment, paying attention to every detail and understanding how things are working, putting more processes in place to make better decisions, and always have that aim to keep everybody in this fit, to get the best out of them, and make sure they feel part of what they do.”

If the success comes with the great football that ARSENAL are playing, they could be the next Manchester City and dominate the Premier League, but if this current squad of players cannot win that title, then Arteta may feel that he is not the right man to lead the club.
Anything could happen in football, look at Pep Guardiola at City.
