Speculation has emerged that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta could lead Barcelona in the future. Former Catalan defender Miguel Nadal believes that the Spanish specialist remains a worthy candidate for the "Blaugrana," even if he does not win the English Premier League with the London club. Nadal emphasized that Arteta's tactical style and his background in the "La Masia" academy make him an ideal choice for the club. Goal.com reports on the matter.
Arteta's work, which has turned Arsenal into one of the main title contenders, is highly regarded in Spain. The lessons he learned under Pep Guardiola and his tactical innovations at the Emirates Stadium fully align with the "Cruyffian" principles that Barcelona traditionally pursues. According to Nadal, the coach's character and philosophy of play are more important to the club than his trophy cabinet.
To support his view, the former defender cited the examples of Guardiola and Luis Enrique. They also had not achieved major success before taking charge of the Barcelona first team, but they understood the club's DNA perfectly. Arteta has managed to establish a dominant, possession-based style of football in London, which signals his readiness to work at the Camp Nou.
Currently, Arteta is focused on ending Arsenal's 20-year title drought. Although the Londoners have dropped to second place in the table after two consecutive defeats, they remain in the title race. Despite future speculation, the coach aims to achieve a positive result by the end of the current season.
