Vote for Arteta to win Manager of the Season award

Having kept us in the hunt for the Premier League title all season, Mikel Arteta has been nominated for the division’s Manager of the Season award.

Our boss has been deemed as one of the top five bosses from the campaign after guiding us to 26 victories from our 36 matches so far, and staying in the fight for the title right until the campaign's conclusion.

Mikel, who won the Manager of the Month prize in February and has been nominated for that particular accolade on seven occasions this term, has pushed our youthful side to new heights in 2023/24.

He has matched our best-ever total for wins in a season with two games still to play, while only our title-winning seasons in 2001/02 and 2003/04 have seen us collect more than the 83 points we have currently acquired.

The 88 goals we’ve scored is more than any other team in the division - and our joint-most in a Premier League campaign - while no side can match the 28 we’ve shipped, allowing us to record 17 clean sheets in the competition.

As he was last season, Arteta is up against his friend and rival Pep Guardiola who is seeking a fourth-straight Premier League success, while fellow championship challenger Jurgen Klopp is also a contender in his final campaign as Liverpool boss.

An incredible season at the helm of Aston Villa that sees them on the brink of a first-ever Champions League qualification sees Unai Emery also nominated, while a fourth Spaniard in Andoni Iraola rounds off the contenders for the work he has done in revitalising Bournemouth this season.

Supporters can help Mikel win by voting for him from now until midday on Monday, May 13, with those votes being pooled with those from a panel to select the victor.

You can also select either Martin Odegaard or Declan Rice as the winner of the Premier League Player of the Season, while Bukayo Saka or William Saliba are options for the Young Player of the Season.
