Arsenal set to appoint Unai Emery as new manager to replace Arsene Wenger
New reports from Arsenal says the English club is set to appoint Unai Emery as their new manager.
Manchester City assistant manager and former Gunners captain Mikel Arteta was a strong favourite to succeed Arsene Wenger but Emery emerged as the unanimous choice following a recruitment process in which all candidates were spoken to.
The 46-year-old Spaniard is available after leaving Paris St-Germain
where he won one Ligue 1 title and four domestic cups in two seasons in
charge. Previously he guided Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League
triumphs between 2014 and 2016.
Emery announced last month he would leave French champions PSG when
his contract expired at the end of the season. He was replaced by former
Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel, who had also been linked with the
Arsenal job.
Emery's English is not completely fluent but the language barrier is
not expected to be a problem. An announcement and news conference are
expected later this week. After Wenger's departure was announced, the
betting odds on Emery replacing him were at one stage as long as 66-1 -
placing him behind the likes of former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood.
