Desk note: Wire coverage of the Arsenal title treated the story almost entirely as a triumph-of-redemption arc. Monexus foregrounds the parallel Guardiola exit, which most outlets covered as a standalone personnel story, and reads both announcements together as the closure of a single competitive cycle.
