Mikel Arteta has proven that he is no longer a rookie in the business of coaching as he joined the illustrious list of coaches that have beaten all the teams they have met in the Premier League.
After serving as an assistant manager to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City for over three seasons, Arsenal appointed him to head the club in 2019.
Since then, he has had a series of mixed results but the club kept faith with him as he has remained in charge of the Gunners through thick and thin.
On Sunday, October 8, 2023, Mikel Arteta achieved a rare feat in the Premier League by becoming one of the few coaches who has recorded at least a victory against each of the teams he has faced in the league. He achieved that after defeating his former master, Pep Guardiola, and Manchester City 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium on the said date.
Since 2019, Mikel Arteta has faced a total of 24 Premier League games and has recorded at least one victory against them, a feat Pep Guardiola is yet to achieve despite winning five Premier League titles already.
Among all the Premier League clubs Pep Guardiola has faced since 2016, the only EPL club he is yet to beat is Middleborough. Unfortunately, the club has been relegated, and can only fancy a victory over them when they return to the Premier League.
Below are all the coaches that have beaten all the clubs they have met in the Premier League:
1. Mikel Arteta – 24 teams
2. Antonio Conte – 30 teams
3. Jurgen Klopp – 31 teams
4. Gordon Strachan – 32 teams
5. Brendan Rodgers – 36 teams
6. Jose Mourinho – 38 teams
7. Sir Alex Ferguson – 44 teams
8. Arsene Wenger – 46 teams
