Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has been named the Premier League Manager of the Season for 2025/2026. This was reported by the Premier League press service, according to UNN.
Mikel Arteta has been named Barclays Manager of the Season for the first time after leading Arsenal to the Premier League title in the 2025/26 season. This is a historic achievement for the Gunners, coming 22 years after their last Premier League success in the 2003/04 season, when Arsène Wenger's "Invincibles" went the entire campaign undefeated
It is noted that Arteta is the first Arsenal manager to win the award since Wenger, who received it in each of the three seasons the team won the title (1997/98, 2001/02, and 2003/04).
Notably, this is the first time in his career that Arteta has won this award. Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United holds the record for the most awards with 11. In second place is Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola (5 awards).
