Aston Villa have appointed Unai Emery as their new manager - completing a sensational comeback for the former Arsenal boss.
Emery, 50, succeeds Steven Gerrard - who was sacked by the West Midlands club last Thursday - at Villa Park. It's his second job in the Premier League after coaching the Gunners between May 2018 and November 2019 - a job which he was dismissed from.
Villa have confirmed the experienced Spaniard will take charge of the team on November 1 once his work permit is given the green light. The Premier League side have activated Emery's release clause at Villarreal, which is believed to be around £5.25million. The Villa job will be his ninth in management.
