Given the high likelihood that Mikel Arteta will be fired, Arsenal is prepared to begin "looking at managers."

According to Jamie Carragher, who has disclosed when the axe could fall, Mikel Arteta should start watching closely and might soon be worried that Arsenal would fire him. 

However, insiders have told Thesportmoment that the truth is far different. 

After finishing as Manchester City's runners-up in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, the Gunners entered the season with fresh optimism that this would finally be their year. 

Arsenal has one again been forced to take a backseat as Liverpool dominates their first season under Arne Slot, ending Pep Guardiola's lengthy dominance of the English league title.

The north London team lost badly against Luis Enrique's team in the Champions League semi-finals, losing 3-1 overall.

Luis Enrique's team will now play Inter Milan in the final. Arsenal has already won a major title for the seventh straight season under Arteta, whose only other big award to date is the FA Cup in 2020. 

Carragher told Sky Sports that if Arteta fails to perform next season, the writing may be on the wall for him after the Gunners failed to win yet again.

I think Mikel Arteta is an excellent manager, and I'm a huge supporter of him. After Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield, Carragher opened his evaluation of the Arsenal manager by saying, "The job he's done, to get Arsenal where they are."

Remember, they and Tottenham were vying for Champions League spots for a significant number of years. 

They took this leap to compete against Manchester City, and they did it again the previous season." Additionally, they are the squad that has challenged Liverpool this year. 

It seemed like they should have had this season. There is no question that Mikel Arteta will be under a great deal of pressure to win something significant the next season.

The Arsenal board, if they don’t do that [win a big trophy], will have a massive difficulty because they won’t want to fire their manager, but there will be that many people saying: five or six years without a trophy. 

They will be examining the number of managers who are capable of taking that next step."

Arsenal's position on Mikel Arteta's dismissal is revealed via sources.

According to Carragher, the Arsenal board may face a significant conundrum in a year if the team has another season without a trophy. 

The issue is that Mikel Arteta has done an outstanding job at Arsenal, as I mentioned," he continued. Arsenal has a good chance of becoming what Chelsea is at the moment. 

They can go from being a team that consistently performs well to one that isn't able to qualify for the Champions League.

The main dilemma facing Arsenal as a football team in the coming year is that, even if they come close again, they won't truly cross the finish line.

Ian Wright, a former striker for Arsenal, is certain that the board still strongly supports Arteta. 

Wright stated on Premier League Productions, "I don't worry for him because I know how much the owners think of him and how hard he's working to get this right.

We've obviously lost out on the forward, and based on some games, a forward would undoubtedly help us go over the finish line.

That is something I believe, in this next window, needs to happen.

Certainly for now, Arteta remains absolutely safe and it would take a huge drop-off next season for that view to alter.

According to our correspondent Fraser Fletcher, the board of Arsenal is unconcerned about the manager's future and unanimously believes he is still the best person to lead the team to championships.

Additionally, they think that next season might finally be their year and are budgeting heavily for the summer under the direction of new athletic director Andrea Berta. 

In light of this, sources have stated that Arteta will continue to lead Emirates Stadium the next season with what they have called "unwavering support.

They deny any rumours of job insecurity and emphasise the board's unwavering support.
