'It has to change': Mikel Arteta condemns abuse of managers – video

Mikel Arteta says football must come together to discuss how managers can be protected from levels of vitriol that in some cases affect their mental health. The comments come after Steve Bruce opened up about the abuse he received from Newcastle supporters, which has led him to consider retiring from management

'I was really sad after reading that statement from Steve,' Arteta said. 'ou’re talking about somebody who has been in the game over 40 years as a player and manager, that has managed over 1,000 games and he is telling you, with that experience, with that level of expertise, that he struggles with that kind of situation.'
