Arsenal legend Robert Pires has told Stan Kroenke he should have given Unai Emery more time as the Spaniard continues to blaze a trail with Villarreal.
The four-time Europa League winner has the Yellow Submarine in the Champions League quarter finals, where they’ll face Bayern Munich in the first leg on Wednesday night. His exploits in European competitions are well known, having won the Europa League three times with Sevilla, before doing the same with his current club last term.
In between those two jobs in Spain, Emery had stints in charge of Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, both of which lasted less than two years. In the case of his time with the Gunners, Emery had just one full season in charge, in which he reached a European final only to be thumped by Chelsea.
