Transfer expenditures
: Alonso has spent relatively little in the transfer market, but has had great results. Arteta has spent more in the transfer market, but the team is still in the process of winning the league.
Cup performance
: Alonso has led Leverkusen to the UEFA final and the German Cup final, and is expected to fight for the treble. Arteta's Arsenal have also performed in domestic cup competitions, but fall short of Alonso's achievements.
