Premier League: Unai Emery extends Aston Villa’s contract until 2027

Despite rumors, Unai Emery will not be the next coach of Bayern Munich. The former coach of PSG (2016-2018) has decided to extend the contract until 2027 with the English club Aston Villa. The Spaniard changed the Birmingham club. Arriving in October 2022 at the side of a team on the edge of the red zone, Unai Emery allowed the Villans to get back on track with a 7th place finish last year before having a great season this year.

Aston Villa, number 4 in the Premier League, is, in fact, on the verge of qualifying for the next Champions League with 6 points ahead of Tottenham (5th). In the European arena, the English, who have just eliminated Lille in the quarter-finals, will face Olympiakos in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League.

“We are delighted with how far we have come with the Villa fans, club owners, management and this great group of players that we are proud of,” the 52-year-old coach told the club’s website. We share the vision of the owners. Nassef (Sawiris) and Wes (Edens) support and respect us, and we have a good environment and the right structure to develop this football club. We must maintain the spirit of work, wise decisions and coordination with the owners. We will work to improve again and again. And we will be demanding each other. Desire already, and must be the motto of this project.
