Stuivenberg joined Arsenal in December 2019 following the club's appointment of Mikel Arteta as head coach, and made headlines last season when then-Spurs boss Jose Mourinho complained about his dual roles. Stuivenberg was initially appointed at Manchester United by fellow Dutchman Louis van Gaal in 2014.
