Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has signed a new five-year contract with the club following his success in securing a spot in next season’s Champions League. The 52-year-old Spaniard, who joined Villa from Villarreal in October 2022 when the club was 17th in the Premier League, has orchestrated a remarkable turnaround. Under his leadership, Villa climbed to seventh place in his first season and achieved a fourth-place finish this campaign.
Emery expressed his enthusiasm about the new contract and his commitment to the club’s future. “I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club,” he said, noting the strong connection within Aston Villa and the significant support from fans that makes the club feel like home. “We are really excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams,” added Emery, whose previous contract still had three years remaining.
