Emery close to tears as he says farewell ahead of Aston Villa move

Unai Emery was confirmed yesterday as Aston Villa manager to replace Steven Gerrard at the helm of Villa Park and the Spanish coach was on the verge of tears during today’s press conference as he bid farewell to the LaLiga club.

Emery will return to the Premier League on November 1 after three years having left Arsenal in 2019.

The Spanish manager has had great success with Villarreal ever since, guiding the La Liga club to a Europa League title and helping them reach the Champions League semi-finals last season.

This helped Villarreal fans form a special bond with Emery, but the Spanish manager has stated that the opportunity to become Aston Villa’s new head coach was too good to turn down as he was on the verge of tears during your press conference today.
