Being an assistant coach is a very different job to being manager, just look at the assistants who were at very successful clubs and how they did once they went out and managed, Mclaren, Kidd, Queiros the list goes on.
Yes Arteta could turn out to be an amazing manager, the odds are stacked against him however, especially now Wenger has touted him as a potential candidate. Kiss of death in my eyes, stay away from anyone Wenger suggests, he doesn't have a clue about management or what it takes so he's a bad judge of what's needed.
