May 12th According to British media METRO, Carragher said in an interview that if Arteta still cannot lead Arsenal to the trophy next season, he may be fired.

Carragher warned Arteta that the club may start considering changing coaches if Arsenal does not win any trophy again next season. This season, Arsenal has been disappointing at home and in Europe, with Paris Saint-Germain knocking them out in the Champions League and Liverpool won the Premier League title, meaning the Gunners will once again finish the season without a title, and despite significant progress under Arteta, he has been criticized by fans and commentators.

In addition to two Community Shield wins, the FA Cup in the 2019-20 season was the only trophy that Arteta won during his coaching period. Liverpool took a two-goal lead in the first half at Anfield last Sunday afternoon, but Arsenal equalized the score with goals from Martinelli and Merino, who was sent off with red card. After the game, the angry Arteta said in an interview with Sky Sports that the team's performance in the first half was "unacceptable".

Carragher praised Arteta for leading Arsenal to remain competitive in the Premier League since taking over the coaching post in 2019. But the former Liverpool and England defender believes Arteta may face an uncertain future if the situation is similar next season.

In response, Carragher said: "I am a big fan of Arteta, and I think he is an excellent coach, and the work he has done has brought Arsenal to where he is. If Arsenal has no championship again next season, the board will face a huge problem because many people will question why they have not won any trophy in five or six years. Another championship-free season will put the Arsenal board in a "big problem" after a year.

However, former Arsenal striker Ian Wright said that despite the bad ending of the season, Arteta still has strong support from the club's senior management. Wright said in an interview: "I don't worry about him, I know what the senior management thinks of him, and I know how much he has put in to success." ”
