Unai Emery says that his decision to quit Villarreal for Aston Villa is both a “personal and professional decision”.
The Spaniard was announced as the new man to take the reins in the Midlands on Monday evening. Villa conducting a swift deal with the La Liga side to pay his release clause; and the move brings Emery back to English shores following his ill-fated spell at Arsenal.
It also took some aback with the Spaniard enjoying a terrific spell with former club Villarreal having lifted the Europa League - the fourth time he has done that in his career - while they are currently once again challenging for the European positions.
