Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino had high praise for the Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, stating that his compatriot was one of the best managers in world football.

What Merino said
In a recent interview, the former Newcastle man spoke glowingly of Arteta. He revealed that the Basque tactician had improved his football knowledge in his few months of joining, adding that Arteta took the best traits of the legendary Pep Guardiola.
“It’s been a nice year here at Arsenal. I’m seeing things I’ve never worked on before in my career, and it’s helping me to learn about football and grow,” as per Mundo Deportivo.
“Arteta is a very complete coach. He’s taken the best from Pep Guardiola, and you can see that period he had with him here in practice at Arsenal every day.

“The idea is for us to be a dominant team that carries the weight of the game and doesn’t let the opponent have the upper hand.
“We want to subdue them and greatly limit their attacks. I think he also has his own touches, his methodology and that’s what the best do—take the best from each role they have worked in. I think he’s, if not the best, undoubtedly one of the best coaches in the world.”
Arteta was a successful assistant coach at Manchester City under Guardiola before he was given the Arsenal job to permanently replace Unai Emery.
