Delivered by Ornstein himself, no less!

"It was driven by managing director Richard Garlick and executive vice-chair Tim Lewis, with Josh Kroenke involved throughout on behalf of the ownership and input from manager Mikel Arteta.

"Berta prioritised Arsenal above a number of other top-level opportunities and those suitors have been told about the 53-year-old’s decision."

An interesting appointment.

Under Andrea Berta's stewardship as Sporting Director and Technical Director at Atlético Madrid, the club won the following trophies:

La Liga: 2013-14, 2020-21

Copa del Rey: 2012-13

Supercopa de España: 2014

Europa League: 2017-18

UEFA Super Cup: 2018

These trophies were achieved during his time at the club from 2013 to January 2025.

He can certainly win things, but the question is, can he grow us as a club? Only time will tell.
