Breaking: Arsenal FC of the English premier league set to appoint Unai Emery as new manager to replace legend Arsene Wenger at the Emirates stadium
New reports from Arsenal FC says the English club is set to appoint Unai Emery as their new manager.
Manchester City assistant manager and former Gunners captain Mikel Arteta was a strong favourite to succeed Arsene Wenger but Emery emerged as the unanimous choice following a recruitment process in which all candidates were spoken to.
The 46-year-old Spaniard is available after leaving Paris St-Germain where he won one Ligue 1 title and four domestic cups in two seasons in charge. Previously he guided Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League triumphs between 2014 and 2016.
Unai Emery announced last month he would leave French champions Paris Saint German (PSG) when his contract expired at the end of the season. He was replaced by former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel, who had also been linked with the Arsenal job.
Emery's English is not completely fluent but the language barrier is not expected to be a problem. An announcement and news conference are expected later this week. After Wenger's departure was announced, the betting odds on Emery replacing him were at one stage as long as 66-1 - placing him behind the likes of former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood. We all hope he will do a good job.......On behalf of our blog we want to say a big congratulations to Unai Emery on the job.
