Unai Emery's aim for this season is simple - to return Arsenal to the Champions League by any means.
The Gunners narrowly missed out after the agonising end to last season which saw Emery's side finish fifth in the Premier League and lose to Chelsea in the Europa League final.
But the Arsenal head coach will be keen to rectify his mistakes and restore the north London club to the top table of European football.
Arsenal have spent well in the summer transfer window, bringing in marquee names like Nicolas Pepe. Now the Gunners boss and his players must deliver on the pitch.
To do that, Emery will rely on a number of his first-team staff to support and aide him as Arsenal look to challenge on several fronts.
Here's everything you need to know the 23 people who assists the manager on a daily basis.
Unai Emery - Manager
There is no introduction needed for a manager who has won a record three Europa League titles with Sevilla and a domestic quadruple with Paris Saint-Germain.
The 47-year-old led Arsenal to the Europa League final in 2018/19, but will be looking to go one better this time around.
Juan Carlos Carcedo - Assistant manager
Carcedo is Emery's trusted lieutenant who has been by his side since their spell at Almeria in 2006.
Since then, the 46-year-old has worked with him at Valencia, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla, Paris Saint-Germain and now at Arsenal.
Freddie Ljungberg - Assistant manager
Ljungberg's playing career at Arsenal means he is held in high regard by fans, after winning two Premier League titles, three FA Cups and being part of the Invincibles team.
Since hanging up his boots, the former Gunners winger has coached Arsenal's U9s, U15s and U23s, as well as a spell as assistant at Wolfsburg.
The Swede was promoted from his U23s coaching role in the summer, swapping jobs with Steve Bould.
Pablo Villanueva - First team coach
The Spaniard is another who has been part of Emery's coaching team from their Sevilla spell.
Villaneuva managed Cordoba for a brief period before being sacked in February 2014, but joined up with the Arsenal manager's setup in Seville, and has followed him everywhere since.
Sal Bibbo - Goalkeeping coach
Bibbo had something of a journeyman playing career, turning out for the likes of Sheffield United and Crawley Town.
He was previously goalkeeper coach at Reading, before moving to north London in July 2017. Despite Emery's arrival, the 45-year-old was kept on.
As well as coaching the first-team goalkeepers, Bibbo leads on the transition of the young keepers from academy to senior football.
Javi Garcia - Goalkeeping coach
Garcia was assistant manager at Granada until 2013, before joining Emery at Sevilla as a goalkeeping coach. He joined the Arsenal head coach at PSG in 2016.

He is responsible for the medical, physical and fitness side of things behind the scenes at the Emirates.
Forsythe had been coveted by AC Milan, with former Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis hoping to bring the American to his new club last year, but the 46-year-old remained in London.
Gary O'Driscoll - Head of medical services
O'Driscoll joined Arsenal in 2009, and was promoted to his current post in 2017 to replace Colin Lewin. He was previously the Ireland rugby team doctor and a veteran of two British Lions tours.

Was at Liverpool for 11 years, with the last four as Head Physio.
Tim Parham - Rehab physio
The Australian joined Arsenal in July 2018 after serving as Head of Rehab at AFL side Port Adelaide for four years.
Paulo Barreira - Physio
