As the source informs, the bosses of "Barcelona" will continue to have confidence in the coach of the team, Javi Hernandez. However, they are delighted with the work Mikel Arteta has done at Arsenal. The Blaugranas believe that Arteta's football fits seamlessly into the team's identity. In addition, the 40-year-old specialist is a pupil of the Catalan club. The Spaniard also worked with Josep Guardiola for a long time.

Interestingly, Mikel Arteta has quite a close relationship with the club's technical director Matteo Alemany.
