Arteta is really heartbreaking

In the football world, transfer investment is usually closely related to results, but not absolute. In recent years, many coaches have spent a lot of money in the transfer market, but have never been able to lead the team to win the championship trophy. The following lists the five head coaches with the highest cumulative investment since the last major championship.

5. Kovac - After leading Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga and German Cup double championships in the 2018/19 season, Kovac was fired for a poor start to the subsequent season. Since then, the Croatian coach has successively taken charge of Monaco, Wolfsburg and Dortmund coach Seals, and has never won important championships again. Now he shoulders the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Dortmund, and the introduction of Job Bellingham from Sunderland for £27 million this summer is part of his reconstruction plan.

4. Guardiola - Although 438 million euros have won 14 important trophys for Manchester City, last season was the first time since Guardiola coached that all four major players were gone. Since winning the championship last time, the famous Spanish coach has invested a total of 438 million euros, ranking fourth in this list.

3. Emery - 472 million euros

Although Emery brought Aston Villa from the middle of the league to the European arena, last season even allowed the team to return to the Champions League stage after dozens of years, it still did not end the club's 30-year championship drought. Breaking the trophy drought will be the Spanish coach's next primary goal.

2. Simeone - 535 million euros

In the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, Simeone will almost never make mistakes. Argentina coach led the Bedding Army to win two La Liga and Europa League titles in fourteen years, but the last time he won the championship was four years ago. Now he is leading the team to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the dominance of the league.

1. Arteta - 1 billion euros

Since leading Arsenal to the FA Cup in 2020, Arteta's transfer spending has exceeded the 1 billion euro mark. Although the Gunners have made significant progress in recent years - they have been firmly ranked second in the Premier League for three consecutive years and returned to the Champions League, the trophy cabinet has never added new honors. With the signing of scorer Tzekelish this summer, Arteta's pressure to win the championship in the new season has reached its peak.
