Ex-Arsenal Head of Football Raul Sanllehi has admitted Unai Emery's second season at the helm soon became "hell" after the Gunners had already missed out on Champions League football.
Emery guided the club to fifth-place in his first campaign, missing out on fourth spot to rivals Spurs by a single point. He did, however, forge himself a second chance to spare Arsenal's blushes by reaching the final of the Europa League where Emery's side met Premier League rivals Chelsea in Baku.
With a place in the Champions League up for grabs, the Gunners suffered one of the most miserable nights in their recent history and were thumped 4-1 by a rampant Blues side largely inspired by an in-form Eden Hazard in what was his final game for Chelsea.
