Future PSG manager? Arsenal boss Arteta on ‘list of big coaches’

Could Mikel Arteta be a future manager of Paris Saint-Germain? Youssouf Mulumbu has told GOAL that the Arsenal boss will be “on the list of big coaches” that back-to-back Champions League title winners are monitoring. No position in the Parc des Princes dugout is expected to open up any time soon, with Luis Enrique continuing to impress in that role.
