Being the manager of FC Barcelona is not for everyone. The most difficult aspects of the prestigious position are the extremely narrow margin for mistake and the pressing need for outcomes.
Under Xavi Hernandez, the Catalans’ most recent manager, they have made significant progress. The former footballer has faced criticism recently, meanwhile, for failing to lead his team into the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds.
Unsurprisingly, the media quickly identified Mikel Arteta as the club’s next contender for manager.
According to Sky Sports, the Arsenal manager responded to the rumors linking him to Barcelona earlier today. When asked if he would think about taking over in Catalonia, he responded,
“I am overjoyed and really delighted to be at Arsenal. Barcelona is now doing very well under a fantastic manager. You must act with the utmost respect.

Barcelona has neither the desire nor the justification to break company with Xavi so soon. In fact, it could take longer than initially anticipated to wait for a prize. It is indisputable that the club has advanced greatly under his leadership and that the manager has a specific strategy in mind for their future.
With 31 points in just 12 games, Arteta’s Arsenal team is raking it in the Premier League. They are in first place, two points ahead of Manchester City in second.
The former La Masia student is unquestionably becoming an excellent manager and is here to stay. After studying under Pep Guardiola for three years, he now applies a more contemporary method to the same philosophy.
While Arteta may be a possibility for Barcelona in the future, his name is currently off the table and the Spaniard himself has no intention of leaving his project at Arsenal.
