Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Unai Emery has officially been confirmed as Arsenal’s new manager.
The 46 year-old, who left Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month emerged at the 11th hour as a surprise candidate to replace Arsene Wenger at the Emirates.
Last season, he led the French outfit to a domestic treble this season, but his contract was not extended and he was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
Now, the Spaniard is being tasked with bringing the good times back to Arsenal following a year’s without challenging for the Premier League title.
He told Arsenal’s official website: “I am thrilled to be joining one of the great clubs in the game.

“I have met Stan and Josh Kroenke and it’s clear they have great ambitions for the club and are committed to bringing future success. I’m excited about what we can do together and I look forward to giving everyone who loves Arsenal some special moments and memories.”
