The Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, has signed a new three-year contract with the London club, Arsenal.
The Spaniard was out of contract at the end of the season but has now committed to a deal until 2027 ahead of Sunday's north London derby at Tottenham.
" I feel extremely proud, very excited and can't wait for what comes next. I feel extremely lucky to work every day with good people and the ambition we have here. I feel very inspired, I feel challenged, I feel supported and I want to do much more than what we have already done together ," said Arteta.
The Gunners appointed Arteta, who had worked as an assistant manager under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City at the time, to replace compatriot Unai Emery as manager in December 2019.
He guided Arsenal to victory in the FA Cup final at the end of the 2019-20 season to win his first major trophy as a manager.
Arsenal have finished second to Manchester City in the Premier League in the past two seasons as the 42-year-old bids to guide the club to their first top-flight title since 2003-04.
"Mikel is a dynamic and passionate manager who is relentless in his pursuit of excellence. He has a deep understanding of Arsenal's values and since joining us as manager in December 2019, he has taken the team to the next level in the Arsenal way ," added Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke.
Gunners sporting director Edu added that Arteta's contract gave the club "stability and clear direction as we aim for new heights".
After three games this season, Arsenal are fourth, having won their first two games against Wolves and Aston Villa before being held to a draw by Brighton.
