The discussions did not take long. As predicted earlier this evening. Unai Emery becomes the new manager of Aston Villa after the dismissal of Steven Gerrard.
The English club has made official the arrival of the Spaniard who coached Villarreal. To free him from his contract, his new leaders would have paid his release clause estimated at 6-7 million euros. The former coach of Paris Saint-Germain thus makes his return to England after his mixed passage at Arsenal (2018-2019).
With the yellow submarine, Emery had won the Europa League in 2021, before reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.
Three years later, Unai Emery will return to English soccer. The 50-year-old coach has officially left Villarreal to become the manager of Aston Villa!
