Mikel Arteta ,in a joyous mood, has expressed that winning the FA Cup could be the start for Arsenal after describing it as one of the greatest moments of his career.
The Gunners beat Chelsea 2-1 in Saturday’s Heads Up FA Cup final at an empty Wembley thanks to two goals from captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arteta won the trophy twice with Arsenal as a player, and in his first managerial role.
He said that winning this is better than his winning as a player.
He called it a special day and was glad that they made a lot of people happy. He praised the players for working extremely hard. He also expressed gratitude to all their staff and the people upstairs who made the decision to give him this incredible opportunity to manage a club that is in his heart.
Arteta, who replaced Unai Emery in December, is the first person to both captain and manage Arsenal to victory in an FA Cup final.
He is also the first manager to win a major trophy in their first season in charge of the club since George Graham in 1986-87.
