Who Could be the Next Manager of Arsenal?
A list of the potential candidates should the job become available today based on previous people appearing in the betting odds when the position was vacant last time, to others who have a profile that would fit the club in terms of the last few managers they have had.
Eddie Howe
Eddie Howe is always a favourite in many new manager betting markets
Eddie Howe is the current Newcastle manager and is best known for eight years in charge of Bournemouth. He lifted them from the bottom division of English football to the Premier League, one of the most remarkable feats of football management when you consider it was achieved with a limited budget. He was appointed at St James Park in 2021 and has brought tactical flexibility and a strong work ethic to the club, which has enhanced marquee signings.

Arsenal fans need no introduction to the French striker who made 254 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 174 goals before departing for Barcelona.
Since then Henry has moved into football management with roles at Monaco and with the French National team.
Christophe Galtier
Christophe Galtier built his reputation with Saint-Étienne, revitalising the club and leading them to their first major trophy when lifting the Coupe de la Ligue in 2013. After moving to manage Lille, he masterminded one of the most memorable achievements in Ligue 1 history, guiding the team to the title in 2021 and ending the dominance of the super-wealthy PSG. The Parisian giants came calling for Galtier in 2022, and under his tutelage, they regained the Ligue 1 title. In 2023, like many managers and players, he moved east to take over at Al -Duhail SC who play their football in the Qatar Stars League.

Luis Enrique has been regularly mooted to move to the EPL, especially when the top six betting markets are created. As a player, he won trophies with both Barcelona and Real Madrid and turned out for Spain over 60 times. He moved into management in 2008 when he took charge of the Barcelona B side and, since then, has managed four clubs, Roma, Celta, Barcelona, PSG as well as the Spanish National Side.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst

Hailing from Holland, van Bronckhorst came to the UK to play for Rangers in 1998 before moving to Arsenal in 2001, making 41 appearances. After a move to Barcelona and seeing out his playing career at Feyenoord, he took over as their coach for four seasons. He returned to Glasgow as the Rangers manager in 2021; however, results did not go well, and he was let go in the Autumn of 2022. In the summer of 2024 he was appointed to manage Turkish club Besiktas.
Sol Campbell

Sol Campbell had two spells playing for Arsenal, firstly after his controversial move from North London rivals Spurs in 2001, and then a brief 11 appearances in 2010. Sol has had two managerial positions thus far, at Macclesfield Town and Southend United. Taking charge of Arsenal would be some step up on those jobs but as a former Gunners favourite, he is often linked when the Arsenal manager's job comes up.
Could Patrick Vieira Return to Arsenal as Manager?
The former French International played 280 times for Arsenal and was a fan favourite. During all his performances, he symbolised grit, determination, and sublime skills.
In 2016, he moved to the US to manage New York Cosmos and subsequently was in charge of Nice and Strasbourg in France and Crystal Palace in England.
His latest position is in Italy. He took the manager's job at Genoa in November 2024 after Alberto Gilardino was dismissed.

Arsenal's Worst Start in 118 years - Mikel Arteta Odds On to be 1st premier League Manager to Leave
After a poor start to the season, Mikel Arteta currently sees himself as the favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave this season according to bookmakers. A 6-0 thrashing of West Brom in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening may have relieved some of the pressure around Arteta's position with the Arsenal board, but with a tricky away fixture at Manchester City up next, it may get even worse in the league for the Gunners. Crystal Palace manager and former Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira is also without a win this season and sees himself as second in the odds to be the next manager to leave at 7/1.
