Arsenal appoints Unai Emery as their new head coach.
Arsenal have announced Unai Emery as the new coach of the club. The club made the official statement yesterday that former Paris Saint German manager who was also the former coach of Seville will carry on from Arsene Wenger next season.
Arsenal made a late U-Turn after they were rumors that the club will appoint former mid fielder, Mikel Arteta as the head coach. But that will not be the case as the club have signed the former Europa league winner who won the Europa league title three years in a role with Seville .
Arsene Wenger made the announcement that he won’t continue at the club next season after his 21 year stay at the club which made him the longest serving manager in the premier league.
Arsene Wenger won the FA Cup on several occasions and also made history as his Arsenal side went a whole season without a losing a single game. A record that was almost broken by Manchester City this season before they met their downfall to a formidable Liverpool side.
As Arsene Wenger announced his depature from the club, the board has since be searching for a replacement. Former Real Madrid and AC Milan coach, Carlo Ancelotti said that he would be an honour for him to coach Arsenal.
A lot of coaches were scouted for the position of the head coach of the club. The likes of former FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, former Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta where at on point rumored to be at the helm of affairs in the coaching role next season.
But none of the coaches listed above made it to Arsenal as the board decides to appoint the former PSG boss as the teams head coach.
Carlo Ancelotti was later signed by Napoli and Thomas Tuchel replaced Unai emery at Paris Saint German, while Mikel Arteta is likely to continue in his assistant coaching role with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City.
Unai Emery emerged as a surprise replacement for the outgoing Arsene Wenger because he was not rumored to be a candidate for the job.
Unai Emery was fired by PSG following his few successful seasons at the club. He won the league cup and also the France cup several times during his stay at the club.
He also made history with Seville before he moved to Paris Saint German.
He qualified Seville for the champions league and he also won the Europa league on three occasions during his time at the club.
There’s a lot of expectation heaped on him as he’s appointed the new head coach of the club. Arsenal finish 6th in the league table and they have been relegated to the Europa league for the first time in years. Unai Emery will be responsible to restore Arsenal back to its glory days and the first objective will be to qualify the team for the champions league and to also deliver the club its first Europa league title in years.
He will also be looking to improve the squads with some major signings when the transfer windows open.
