Wandering Premier League managers beware, Mikel Arteta has the receipts.<\/p>\n
The Arsenal<\/a> boss has developed a reputation for straying outside the technical area in recent years but, he claims, he is far from the worst offender. <\/p>\n After receiving his second yellow card of the season for the offence during the Gunners’ victory over Everton<\/a> on Saturday, Arteta revealed he has a dossier of evidence that proves other Premier League managers are getting off lightly.<\/p>\n “I do have to be careful. They should put sensors there,” he said.<\/p>\n “There are managers who have the record in the league, 36 times in 10 minutes [they] leave the touchline – no yellows.<\/p>\n “I am clipping all of that so I have now a massive storage of images, so if somebody comes to me I can say, ‘I am not in the record yet’. Somebody else has the record so let’s see.<\/p>\n “Then it’s 36 yellow cards in 10 minutes for the managers. I don’t know what we are going to do – let’s see.”<\/p>\n What is Arteta planning to do with this treasure trove of touchline images? Who is the mystery manager holding that surely unbreakable record?<\/p>\n For now we can only speculate, although a BBC Sport study in April 2025<\/a> found that of current top-flight bosses, Aston Villa<\/a>‘s Unai Emery spent the most time outside his technical area. Could he be the culprit?<\/p>\n Until all is revealed, though, Premier League bosses must watch their step – Arteta is watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wandering Premier League managers beware, Mikel Arteta has the receipts.
