Arsenal's coach, Arteta, expresses optimism about breaking the club's trophyless streak.
Arsenal Aims for Home Advantage and Trophy Push in 2025/26 Season
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager, has expressed his ambitions for the upcoming 2025/26 season, emphasising the importance of passion, energy, and fan connection at home to secure victories.
In an interview ahead of a pre-season friendly against Villarreal, Arteta discussed his strategy for fostering a sense of invincibility at the Emirates Stadium. He believes that by building a strong connection with the fans, Arsenal can create a formidable home advantage.
However, it's worth noting that since Arteta took over after the 2019/20 FA Cup victory, Arsenal has not won any other major trophies as of August 2025. The club's current squad includes players signed during Arteta's tenure such as Thomas Partey (signed in October 2020) and recent additions like Leandro Trossard (joined 2023) and Declan Rice (joined 2023). No new transfers for the upcoming season have been confirmed as of now.
Despite this, Arteta remains optimistic about the team's prospects, stating there is a big belief in their ability to achieve their targets this season. He also mentioned that the team has been very close to winning trophies in the past few seasons.
Arsenal's hard work and determination paid off last season, as they reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009. Moreover, the club finished second in the Premier League for the past three years, indicating a consistent improvement under Arteta's leadership.
As the new season approaches, Arsenal's first Premier League match is a blockbuster trip to Manchester United on Aug 17. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Arteta's strategies will lead to trophy success this season.
