Mikel Arteta is a Spanish professional football manager and former player with a net worth of $25 million. Currently, he holds the position of manager at Arsenal in the Premier League. Earlier in his playing career, Arteta secured two FA Cups with Arsenal before retiring in 2016. He also represented clubs such as Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Everton, and Rangers, claiming the Scottish Premier League and Scottish League Cup with the latter during his debut season. At 15 years old, Arteta joined the Barcelona B squad. Due to limited first-team opportunities, he was loaned to Paris Saint-Germain in late 2000. During his year and a half in Paris, he debuted in the UEFA Champions League during the 2000-01 season’s second group stage. Despite PSG’s interest in keeping him, Arteta chose to sign with Rangers in Scotland after receiving a more attractive offer. His inaugural season with Rangers showcased his talent and impact. He played a pivotal role in securing both the Scottish Premier League and Scottish League Cup titles, while also contributing to the Scottish Cup victory, though he missed the final due to injury. In his second season, Arteta maintained his strong performances, scoring six goals in the first six matches. Though the club advanced to the Champions League group stages, it exited without a trophy. Arteta later reflected that his time in Scotland was instrumental in shaping his growth as a footballer. In 2004, Arteta returned to Spain to join Real Sociedad but struggled to replicate his success. Soon after, he was loaned to Everton in the Premier League in early 2005. Making an immediate impact, he scored his first goal for the club in a victory over Crystal Palace. His strong performances led to a permanent five-year contract at Everton. Arteta became a standout player and a beloved figure among fans during his time there. During the 2006-07 season, he netted nine goals in 35 appearances and was honored as the Player of the Season. Additionally, he guided Everton to a spot in the UEFA Cup. Following surgery for a stomach injury, Arteta returned in the 2008-09 season, scoring in the Premier League opener against Blackburn Rovers. Unfortunately, a knee injury shortly after sidelined him for the rest of the campaign and the first five months of the following season. Arteta made his comeback in early 2010, coming on as a substitute in an FA Cup draw with Birmingham City. He then started in a crucial 2-1 home win over Chelsea in the Premier League. Later that March, he scored his first goals of the season in a dominant 5-1 victory against Hull City. The 2010-11 season, which marked his final year at Everton, saw a decline in his form despite some early standout goals. On August 31, 2011, Arteta signed a four-year contract with Arsenal. He made his debut in a home win over Swansea City and scored his first goal for Arsenal in a loss to Blackburn Rovers. An ankle sprain in April ruled him out for the remainder of the season. Returning for the 2012-13 season, he was named vice-captain of Arsenal. After missing the start of the following season due to injury, he returned in September and helped Arsenal reach the FA Cup Final, where they triumphed 3-2 over Hull City. For the 2014-15 season, Arteta was appointed the club’s new captain. In this role, he led Arsenal to consecutive FA Community Shield victories in 2014 and 2015. Arteta also represented Spain at the youth international level. He was part of the winning team in the 1999 UEFA European Under-16 Championship, as well as the UEFA-CAF Meridian Cup and the FIFA U-17 World Championship that same year. After retiring from playing in 2016, Arteta transitioned into coaching as an assistant coach at Manchester City. During his tenure there through 2019, he contributed to two Premier League titles, two EFL Cups, and an FA Cup. He later took on the role of head coach and manager at his former club, Arsenal. Arteta secured his first victory in this capacity in a New Year’s Day match against Manchester United. Later that year, he guided Arsenal to its fourth FA Cup Final in seven seasons, winning the trophy over Chelsea. In doing so, he became the first individual to win the FA Cup both as Arsenal’s captain and as its manager. The following season, he led the club to another FA Community Shield title, marking his third overall and first as a manager. In the 2020-21 season, Arsenal returned to the FA Cup but fell in the fourth round to Southampton. However, Arteta and his team found greater success in the North London derby. Meanwhile, in the Europa League, he steered Arsenal to the semifinals. Arteta earns an annual coaching salary of just over $4 million USD while managing Arsenal. He is married to Lorena Bernal, an Argentine-Spanish actress, model, and television personality. Together, they share three children named Gabriel, Daniel, and Oliver. © 2026 Celebrity Net Worth / All Rights Reserved
