What’s the word?
The Gunners have suffered a disastrous start to the 2021/22 season, losing all three of their opening Premier League matches, and now it appears as if the club are planning ahead for a big call.
According to reports in Spain, only an extraordinary run of positive form after the international break will save the Spaniard from receiving the sack in the near future.
It’s claimed that Arsenal have already reached out to former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and that he has even agreed to take over – but not until October.
Arteta will have to win their games against Norwich City, Burnley and arch-rivals Spurs, otherwise, the Premier League-winning coach will be in the dugout in time for their clash with Brighton and Hove Albion, suggests the report.
Save face
The 39-year-old manager isn’t the only one facing substantial pressure from above heading into the Premier League’s return next weekend as further reports have suggested that Edu Gaspar’s job is under threat after several poor transfer windows, per the Express.
But making a call on Arteta sooner rather than later could hand the Brazilian a little lifeline, for the time being.
Conte is a born-winner and would instantly instil a different culture around the Emirates Stadium.
He told Ansa (via CultofCalcio): “This victory was born two years ago when Conte and his staff first walked into our training centre. They brought a top-notch working culture and begun transmitting the correct mindset
