Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, collaborated with GQ magazine to discuss winning and Arsenal culture.

Arteta does want to be the best manager in the world, and he really wants to win every single game this season – just ask Win the dog. But losing has given him a kind of fearlessness that sets you free. “The day I decided to be a manager I had to be clear on one thing: I don’t know if I’m going to be sacked tomorrow, in a month, in a year, but it is going to happen,” he says. “I don’t want to leave my job with the fear of ‘What if?’”
