At 39, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is very young in the coaching game.

But he isn’t even the youngest coach at Arsenal.

Arteta put his Gunners players through their paces at London Colney on Saturday ahead of today’s visit of West Bromwich Albion.

And there were rare pictures of Carlos Cuesta in the gallery.

Arsenal hired the 25-year-old Spaniard in August as a first-team coach, along with two other figures – Andreas Georgson and Miguel Molina.

But fans of the North London club seldom clap eyes on the Arteta-hired trio and here’s some pictures of Cuesta with defender Gabriel Magalhaes.

Cuesta, who began his coaching badges aged only 18, is something of a prodigy in this line of work.

The youngster spent four years working with Atletico Madrid’s academy until 2018, before snagging a job as Juventus’ Under-17 coach.

Despite only being 25, Cuesta has clearly made a name for himself and this looks like somebody with a lot ambition and it’ll be fascinating to see how his career develops over the coming years.
