Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has jumped in support of his former assistant and called on the board of directors at Arsenal not to make the big mistake of sacking Mikel Arteta.
Arteta’s Arsenal lost 4-1 to Pep’s Manchester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Arsenal are now without a win in eight domestic league and cup matches.
Arteta left City, where he was Guardiola’s assistant, 12 months ago to take charge at Emirates Stadium.
Arteta said on the eve of the last-eight tie with City that he has no plans to walk away from his job and feels he has the support of the club.
The former Arsenal captain won the FA Cup in his first season in charge and his side then beat Premier League champions Liverpool in the Community Shield at the end of August.
But they have been poor in 2020-21 and languish in 15th spot in the top flight, four points above the relegation zone and without a win in seven league games.
Guardiola, who has won two Premier League titles, three EFL Cups and one FA Cup after failing to secure a trophy in his first season at City in 2016-17, said Arteta needs time.
