Former Arsenal player Robert Pires believes that his old club may part ways with manager Mikel Arteta if he does not secure the Premier League title this season.

Pires suggests that the Premier League title has been elusive for Arteta, and Arsenal could seek a replacement for the Spaniard if he fails to bring home the English top-flight league trophy this term.

Since taking charge of the Emirates club five years ago, Arteta has yet to win the Premier League title for the Gunners.

In the past three seasons, Arteta's team has finished as runners-up in the Premier League.

Consequently, Arsenal supported Arteta with a substantial spending spree during the summer transfer window, and he is eager to clinch the English top-flight league title this season.

“In my opinion, if Arsenal does not win a trophy this year, the management will likely consider hiring another coach,” Pires told Foot Mercato.

“He has been there for five years, and unfortunately, the title has evaded him. What is crucial for the fans is the championship.

“Significant funds were allocated in the summer transfer window. He made specific requests that were fulfilled by the Arsenal board.

“If Arsenal does not win the championship, I believe there will certainly be a change in management.”

“It won’t be easy because teams like Liverpool and Manchester City are competitive, and Chelsea will also be in the mix. However, I think Arsenal has the potential and the players to win the title.”

Currently, Arsenal occupies the second position on the Premier League table, trailing leaders Liverpool by two points this season.
