BIG SECRET REVEALED: ARTETA ALMOST WENT TO NEWCASTLE

A highly striking transfer truth has come to light regarding Spanish manager Mikel Arteta, gaining great appreciation from the football world with the successful managerial performance displayed at English Premier League team Arsenal. It was understood that the successful manager returned from the door of a different English giant just months before taking charge of the London representative. According to the news of Telegraph; Mikel Arteta came very close to becoming the new manager of the Newcastle United team in 2019. The club's management led by Mike Ashley prepared an unusually long-term contract offer to bring the Spanish coach to the team. The young manager looked quite warmly at this offer and even started doing research to form a personal technical team. However, some insurmountable obstacles emerged in the later stages of the negotiations. The Spanish manager began to have serious concerns about the current squad quality and player structure of the team. In addition to this, the pressure of replacing a legendary name like Rafael Benitez also complicated the decision process. Along with all these, failing to include some coaches desired to work with into the Newcastle United technical staff became the last drop overflowing the glass. With the accumulation of these negativities, this surprise agreement expected to take place in 2019 completely collapsed. Mikel Arteta changed route by giving up on this transfer and opened a brand new page in the career by taking charge of former team Arsenal just months later. The football public began to eagerly discuss how the Premier League dynamics would be shaped if this transfer had taken place.
