Wow. Shows how highly he's thought of.
Basel, Borussia Munchengladbach, Arsenal and the Swiss national team. Lets look further:
Basel - a club that have reached the last 16 of the Champions League and the semi finals of the Europa League. A club that since the 90s have had Christian Gross, Paolo Sousa, Thorsten Fink and Alex Frei as notable coaches.
Borussia M - a club that were last relevant in the 1970s
Swiss National team - since 2000 the only notable manager they have had is Ottmar Hitzfeld from 2008 to 2014, after he ended club management at Bayern. A has been ? Probably.
I didn't even have to do that digging, the fact that its Xhaka of all people, singing Arteta's praises should be of no surprise to anyone. Teacher's pet praises teacher, nothing to see here.
