Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reveals matchday clothes superstition

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed a bizarre routine he is going through this season.

The Spaniard, who is top of the table with the Gunners, says that his superstitious ways force him to wear the same clothes when they win games.

Arteta is a meticulous person and manager, but his level of superstition has not been revealed until now.

“Yeah, it is very methodical. I am a very methodical, routine person," Arteta told the Daily Telegraph.

“When we are winning, I don't like to change my clothes, I like to maintain exactly the same jumper, trousers and shoes as before.

“If we lose, I change to something different.

“I think at a high performance level, you have to be consistent, things are demanding, you want to be detailed and precise.

“But at the same time you need to leave some room for creativity. I love that mixture."
