Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has insisted he will not block any member of his backroom staff from taking a managerial job amid interest from Norwich City in Carlos Cuesta becoming their next boss.
Sources have told ESPN that Norwich have identified Arsenal coach Cuesta as a possible replacement for manager David Wagner, who is under mounting pressure with Norwich scrambling to make the Championship playoffs as they sit seventh in the table.

Norwich are unlikely to make an immediate change but are considering a move either before the end of the season or this summer, with Cuesta, 28, forging a reputation as one of football’s top young coaches since joining Arsenal from Juventus in 2020.
Ben Knapper has already left Arsenal for Norwich and, in his role as the club’s sporting director, he is believed to be driving their interest in Cuesta. It is unclear whether Cuesta would accept the job if it was offered to him.
