Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says the club’s decision to cut 60 jobs was presented as part of an effort to create the success it is seeking.
Arteta said he had been told the reductions were made to support the club’s ambitions. The decision affects 60 positions, although no further details about the roles involved or the timing of the cuts were provided.
The manager’s comments link the staffing changes to Arsenal’s wider drive for success. He did not provide additional information about how the job reductions would affect the club’s football operations or other areas.
The latest position supplied is that the cuts have been justified internally as a measure intended to help Arsenal achieve its goals, with Arteta supporting that stated rationale.
