Villarreal To Appoint Ex-Arsenal Manager Emery

By Daily Sports on July 21, 2020

Unai Emery is set to be appointed as coach of La Liga side Villarreal, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

The former Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Sevilla and Valencia boss has been in talks with the club for several months.

An announcement is imminent in the next few days and the Basque manager is expected to sign a three-year contract.

Emery, 48, has been out of work since he was sacked by Arsenal in November 2019 after 18 months in charge.

He has considered a number of options since then, and held discussions about a return to the Premier League as well as a move to Italy's Serie A, before deciding on a return to Spain.

Villarreal finished fifth in La Liga, qualifying for the Europa League, and ended the season with a 4-0 win over Eibar on Sunday.

They have impressed under coach Javi Calleja since competition resumed in June but at that point negotiations with Emery were already at an advanced stage.

Villarreal were not the only La Liga team to approach Emery in recent months. Sources told ESPN that he spoke to Real Betis before they appointed Manuel Pellegrini. (ESPN)
