Unai Emery

Bummer. he won’t be going to Barca then :unai:

:arteta:

Good thing Santi is getting out of Villarreal then.

All in all that’s a good result for Emery after failed tenures at PSG and Arsenal.

Officially announced as Villarreal boss. Best of luck to him, personally think the Premier League was a league too high for him, think he’ll do fine back in Spain.

Villarreal are about to enter into a period of unprecedented success, even by the standards to which the greatest teams of all time hold themselves to.

As much as I wanted Emery to leave, his lowest PL finish was fifth, with an eleven match winning streak, and he did get to a European final.

Considering he’d never worked in the PL before, it’s not the worst record of a new manager taking over a big club in the PL that was in a mess.

Villareal are about his level and his experience at the top level with PSG and us will be useful.

Barca manager by 2025.

Well at least he knows the language. He had dreadful English here and helped to his being undermined imo.

Big lawsuit on the way. Seriously if that photo was taken by an official Arsenal employee it is an infringement :grin:

Nah, can probably buy it on Getty Images or the like.

They could have opted for a different picture though. They really don’t want the Arsenal version of Emery!

Surely one of stuart macfarlanes :grin:

Yeah I know, but one can still dream though :sweat_smile:

Would have been very interesting to see where we finished this season if Unai remained at the helm all season.

The Championship most likely.

Knowing us under Emery we’d skipped a division and gone straight to league 1.

Probably around the same position.
