Carlos Cuesta, the assistant coach at Arsenal, is gaining recognition and praise from players like Granit Xhaka, who believes that the 28-year-old is destined for success in the world of football.
Hired by Arsenal in 2020 to work under Mikel Arteta at the age of 25, Cuesta has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of Arteta’s most trusted advisors.
Many fans may recognize Cuesta from his appearances on All or Nothing: Arsenal, where he was often seen conducting one-on-one sessions with players.
Speaking to The Athletic, former Arsenal star Granit Xhaka expressed his admiration for Cuesta, stating that he believes Cuesta has the potential to manage a top club in the future.
“I am sure that one day Carlos Cuesta will be a manager for a big, big, big club,” said Xhaka. “I say this because he knows what he wants, he has clear ideas. I am certain that one day we will see him on the touchline as a manager.”
Can Arsenal’s Carlos Cuesta make it to the top?
Xhaka’s words are big ones and show how impressed he must have been with Cuesta having worked alongside him at Arsenal.
The situation the Spanish coach finds himself in at 28 is very impressive and given his age, the Gunners coach has plenty of time to develop his skills and is learning from one of the best in Mikel Arteta.
It is too early to tell if Cuesta will manage one of Europe’s elite someday, but Xhaka’s words are encouraging as the Spaniard continues to make a name for himself in the world of football.
