Mikel Arteta said it's 'all sorted' between Declan Rice and Arsenal assistant manager Albert Stuivenberg after the pair were involved in a heated row at half-time of Wednesday's Carabao Cup win at Chelsea. A video clip showed the pair arguing in the tunnel, before Stuivenberg eventually left the scene. During that time, he helped bring through a host of stars including future Arsenal striker Robin van Persie. Stuivenberg progressed to work with the Dutch national youth teams and Manchester United, where he was under Louis van Gaal. In January 2022 he took charge of Arsenal against Manchester City while Arteta had to isolate after contracting Covid-19.
