Gallas believes Arteta is not capable of leading Arsenal to Premier League victory
London's Arsenal seems to have missed the chance to win the English championship for the third consecutive season. While some believe the reason lies in the squad composition, others question the coach.
Details: Former Arsenal defender William Gallas believes that Mikel Arteta is not the coach capable of leading the "Gunners" to the championship, comparing him to Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot.
Quote: "What he has done with Arsenal is great because Arsenal, maybe five years ago, was in a difficult situation, and he built something with this squad and achieved very good results. Now the question is, can he win the Premier League? And at the moment, my answer is no. Because now he has almost, yes, finished second three times.
This season Manchester City, for some reason, found it tough. I think they were tired, and it was very hard for the players psychologically. And this season was the best opportunity to win the league. And when you see Liverpool was ahead, well, they did well.
But they had a new manager, and as we know, sometimes it's very tough for a new manager to come into a new club and try to do his best to get his players up to speed. Sometimes it takes time. But with this manager, they immediately achieved a good result. But Arsenal was out of place."
