Arsenal star David Luiz has tipped Mikel Arteta to become ‘one of the best coaches in the world’ after working with the Spaniard for a week.

The Gunners’ 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday means Arteta’s picked up just one point from his first two matches as Arsenal boss but there have been discernible signs of improvement.

Arteta retired as a player when he was at Arsenal in 2016 in order to work under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and the Spaniard won two Premier League titles under the former Barcelona boss at the Etihad.

Arteta’s appointment at Arsenal is his first move into management but Luiz says he’s already seen enough to be convinced.

‘For me he [Arteta] will be one of the best coaches in the world,’ said Luiz.

‘He is intelligent, he is clever and I think he will be one of the best. It is part of our job to help him achieve that.

‘People have doubts, but I trust in his philosophy and the way he sees football.’

Arteta will be looking for his first win when Arsenal host Manchester United on New Year’s Day.

Dani Ceballos and Granit Xhaka could both return after the pair missed the defeat against Chelsea.
