Not only are Arsenal busy on the transfer market, but there's also recruiting staff behind the scenes!
🧨 From Red Devil to Red Army: Heinze Joins Arteta's Ranks
In a twist few Gooners saw coming, Arsenal have recruited former Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze to bolster Mikel Arteta's backroom staff. Yes, that Gabriel Heinze—the snarling, no-nonsense Argentine who once patrolled the flanks at Old Trafford—is now donning red for a very different cause.
Heinze joins the coaching setup as a replacement for Carlos Cuesta, the sharp-minded assistant who's left the Emirates to try his luck as the new boss at Italian side Parma. Good luck to him—but it's Heinze's arrival that's turning heads.
At 47, Heinze brings a mixed managerial CV to north London. Since hanging up his boots in 2014, he's had spells in charge of clubs in his native Argentina, including Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors, Vélez Sarsfield, and most recently Newell's Old Boys. None of them set the world alight, but maybe that's not the point. Arteta has often favoured passion, grit, and diverse tactical perspectives over flashy résumés.
What can Heinze offer the Gunners? Well, if nothing else, a dose of old-school South American edge. Known for his fiery character, Heinze could be the kind of figure who keeps standards high and tempers hotter—ideal for pushing this youthful Arsenal squad to the next level.
One thing's for sure: seeing a former United man in the Arsenal dugout is going to take some getting used to. But if Heinze can help deliver silverware, we'll happily forgive his red-tinted past.
Watch this space, Gooners. Arteta's army just got a little meaner.
