A. Wenger: M. Arteta would be suitable for work within "Arsenal" squad.

After it was revealed that London's "Arsenal" team will have to look for a new coach, as after 22 years Arsene Wenger is leaving the team, rumors linking Mikel Arteta appeared in the press.

It is reported that former "Arsenal" footballer and current assistant coach of the "Manchester City" team is the main candidate to replace the Frenchman.

A. Wenger himself, who has trained M. Arteta, says that he is really suitable for this job.

"He has all the qualities for this job. Yes, I believe he is one of the favorites for this role.

He was a leader and he has a great passion for the game. He knows the team well and knows what is important for the team. He was the team captain, so why not?

I leave a lot of experience behind me. Steve Bould has been with me for six years, as has Jens Lehmann. Arteta was Guardiola's assistant, so I really think he has everything he needs," - said A. Wenger.
