KSI Reveals Pick for Next Arsenal Manager if Mikel Arteta Is Sacked by Club

Popular YouTuber and Arsenal fan KSI has named his preferred choice as Mikel Arteta's replacement.

So far, the 25/26 season has been one to treasure for Arsenal, as they sit top of the Premier League table with a four-point lead over Manchester City and Aston Villa.

In Europe, Arsenal won all eight of their UEFA Champions League matches as they advanced to the round of 16 as the winners of the first phase.

Looking ahead, they will take on either Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund or Olympiakos.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are still in with a chance of winning both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.

However, in recent weeks, Arsenal's Premier League form has stuttered a little, having gone three matches without a win.

Since winning against Bournemouth on January 3, Arteta's men have drawn with Liverpool and Nottingham Forest before losing to Manchester United.

Speaking to SPORTbible ahead of the Match for Hope in Qatar, KSI was quizzed on whether Arsenal could 'bottle' the Premier League.

He replied: "No, we are not bottling the league, shut up! Shut up!

"We're four points ahead and we're going to keep that four points."

When asked whether Arteta will leave the club if the Gunners fail to win the title this season, KSI said: "I mean, the thing is, if we don't have Arteta, I'm scared of what Arsenal would look like.

"If somehow, we bottle the league. I don't want Arteta to leave. But, I just can't see it bro."

KSI was then asked who he would like as Arteta's replacement, he stated: "Fabregas!"

Ex-Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas is currently the manager of Italian Serie A side Como and has produced some impressive performances.

The 2026 Match for Hope takes place at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.

Match for Hope brings together some of the biggest names in football and entertainment in a bid to raise money for Education Above All (EAA) Foundation initiatives supporting out-of-school children and disadvantaged young people in countries including Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sudan, Pakistan, Mali, and Tanzania.
