Arsenal have been taking the league by storm this season, sitting pretty at the top of the table and winning hearts and minds alike of football fans with their style of play and the manner in which they are getting out and about to finish the job as quickly as possible.
A large chunk of credit for that goes to their manager Mikel Arteta, who after 3 years of constant turmoil, upheaval and chaos has managed to build a side in his image.
The Spaniard has got them playing a brand of football just the way he wants them to. He has instilled a sense of unity, fearlessness and cohesion among this side which is there for everyone to see. However, behind every successful man there is a woman, and that goes for the Arsenal boss as well.
Who Is The Wife Of Mikel Arteta And What Is Her Role In His Life At Present!?
Lorena Bernal has been a constant companion for the Spaniard in his time as manager, having been there with him through some of the most lowest times at the helm of the club. Wife to Arteta for almost 21 years, Bernal is a Spanish citizen who was actually born in Argentina, but her family migrated to the Same Sebastian region in Spain when she was just a year old. Since then she has been a Spanish international.
She made a good name for herself in her younger days when she was selected to participate in the prestigious Miss World beauty pageant as Miss Spain in 1999, all at the tender age of 17. While she did not win the iconic title, she finished in the top ten performers on arguably the biggest stage of them.
She had aspirations to participate in the Miss Universe pageant as well, but her young age meant that the opportunity went away from her. Her time in the spotlight during Miss World was enough to open doors to the industry, which is exactly what transpired for her. She went on to become a successful TV host, and also was a constant feature on television, starring in some pretty big name shows like Chuck and CSI: Miami.
She is a polyglot, with fluency in three languages: English, French and Spanish. Met Arteta way back in 2002, and she revealed in a candid interview that during their first interactions, Arteta did not disclose to her that he was a footballer. However, that didn’t deter the pair as they went on to tie the knot in 2010 at a quaint little island near Mallorca.
What About The Arteta Family And Can The Spanish Manager Make Them Proud!?
They currently have three sons and live in London. She has a sizeable Instagram presence, with close to 35,000 followers. And her feed is mostly pictures of her family and the places that they have been to during holidays and vacations.
It seems to be a very supportive family. And the effect seems to be rubbing off on Mikel Arteta and his team already. The key here is that Arsene Wenger, the greatest Arsenal manager of all time (some would argue), ruined his personal life in the process.
So far, Mikel Arteta has somehow managed to find the perfect balance. He is doing everything right at present. Let’s see how things plan out, moving forward. Onto the Premier League title then, one would hope!!
