Aston Villa have themselves a new coach, his name is Unai Emery. ‘Mr. Europa League’ has decided to leave Madrigal after a little more than two years and return to the Island where he did not make a name for himself while managing Arsenal, with the desire to make a much better impression this time.As reported by almost all reputable media on the Iberian Peninsula, and on the Island as well, Aston Villa decided to activate the buyout clause and pay Villarreal 6,000,000 euros for Emery who clearly expressed his desire to return to the Premier League and correct what Steven Gerrard ‘messed up’.##NAJAVA_MECA_6755322##Madridian outlet Marca writes that the negotiations were short and very easy to implement, mostly due to the fact that Emery was ready to try himself in a new club and put an end to two successful years at Madrigal.Emery will not be on the Villarreal bench for Thursday’s Conference League match against Hapoel Be’er Sheva, and Aston Villa have reportedly offered him a guaranteed three-year contract, with an option for another season, as well as full freedom to completely restart the project and start all over again.Aston Villa spent 70,000,000 euros this summer on Wolves’ Leander Dendoncker (€15,000,000), Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho (€20,000,000) and Sevilla’s Diego Carlos (€31,000,000), but the club only had two wins in the league until Gerrard’s sacking and were at the bottom of the table. Just two days after Steve G left, Villa thrashed Brentford 4-0 at home, so it looked as though Gerrard’s assistant Aaron Danks might be able to fight for a slightly longer stay. It looks like his role will be episodic after all.Unai Emery has been appointed manager of Aston Villa 🟣 pic.twitter.com/oEkIHV2L2u— GOAL (@goal) October 24, 2022 Emery had the option of returning to the Premier League last year, but negotiations with Newcastle did not go well. We will see how much money the Basque manager gets in the January transfer window and whether what he has will be enough to lift the Birmingham Lions from the bottom.
