“When Arsenal were looking for a manager, there was two people up for grabs: Arteta and Ancelotti,” Bent said.
“I thought Ancelotti should have been the one to go to Arsenal and Arteta to go to Everton.
“The FA Cup papers over a lot of cracks and if Arsenal go out of the Europa League and finish tenth or eleventh, I think he (Arteta) could be out of a job.
“I would like to see him stay and turn it around because I’m not big on sacking managers. Arsenal are not Chelsea.”
