Unai Emery makes his comeback in the Spanish league. The predecessor of Thomas Tuchel, coach of PSG, will resume service next season on the bench of Villarreal. By finishing 5th in the last edition of La Liga, the club will participate in the Europa League. A competition that Emery, 48, has won three times in a row with Sevilla FC between 2014 and 2016. Since this feat, the Basque has suffered failures in Paris (2016-2018) and Arsenal (2018-2019).
By being the coach of the “remountada” against Barcelona in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League (6-1 after winning 4-0 at the Parc) in 2017, Emery did not leave a good memory in the memory of Parisian supporters.
Same thing on the Arsenal side. He was hired with the onerous mission of succeeding the legendary French coach Arsène Wenger, who had spent 22 years on the Gunners bench … But only lasted a season and a half.
Mikel Arteta, Emery’s successor at Arsenal, congratulated him at a press conference before the last game of the season this Sunday against Watford: “Congratulations to Unai Emery for this new job. He’s back in Spain, he’s a coach with a lot of experience and who has had a lot of success in this championship. “
