Aston Villa announce ex- Arsenal boss Unai Emery as new manager
Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been appointed as the new manager of Premier League side Aston Villa following the dismissal of Steven Gerrard on Thursday.
“Aston Villa is delighted to announce the appointment of Unai Emery as the club’s new Head Coach,” the club said in a statement on Monday night.
Emery’s appointment comes after he resigned from his job with Villarreal following mutual agreement between the Spanish club and Aston Villa.
This is the Spaniard’s second spell in England following a short unsuccessful stint with Arsenal, where he led the Gunners to the final of the UEFA Europa League but lost to Chelsea in the final.
Emery has managed top clubs across Europe including Paris Saint-Germain, Sevilla, Valencia, Spartak Moscow and Almeria.
He also boasts of remarkable achievements in his managerial career so far – he won four UEFA Europa League titles with Villarreal and Sevilla combined, the Ligue 1, Coupe de France amongst others.
The 50-year-old manager is now tasked with the difficult task of overturning Aston Villa’s poor run this season – The Villans have lost six of their 12 league matches, with only three wins and three draws.
He will resume duty on November 1 after his work permit formalities are completed.
