If I were to predict how Arteta will perform next season, I would say it isn't going to be great. I still believe he is good in tactics in spite of the fact that they come with terms and conditions like the team should be thoroughly drilled.
He has been very amateur when it comes to man management. Even without European football, he somehow managed to run down players regularly. With European football, I don't know how he is going to handle it.
And then there is this problem of ego clashes with players. Now I agree with the club's decision to back the manager instead of players. If not, we will be another Chelsea/United signing new manager every season. The problem is he doesn't even try to fix the situation himself before deciding to kick the player out. Integrating difficult characters into the team is an important aspect of management. His method of kicking them out on first strike is not sustainable. As mentioned in my previous post, look at what Conte did with Kane. If Arteta tried his best and couldn't get the player in line, then it makes sense to sell.
Unless he drastically changes his management philosophy or Kroenkes open 300M warchest, I don't see him succeeding.
