Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery has made a shock return to the Premier League after Aston Villa appointed the Spaniard after Steven Gerrard was sacked.
Emery was appointed as manager at the Emirates Stadium at the end of the 2017/18 season, replacing club legend Arsene Wenger. The Spaniard signed a two-year deal with an option to extend for a third, but was sacked after just a year and a half in north London.
Emery took Arsenal to the Europa League final but the Gunners were beaten by London rivals Chelsea in a 4-1 defeat. After a poor run of results, the Spaniard was sacked and replaced by interim manager Freddie Ljungberg before Mikel Arteta was appointed as the north London outfit's new boss, a decision which is now beginning to pay off.
