Former Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has been appointed the new manager of Premier League side, Aston Villa.

This is coming about a week after the dismissal of former England international, Steven Gerrard, as its Manager following a run of abysmal performance.

According to GOAL, Unai Emery will take over at Villa Park on November 1 after his work permit formalities are completed.

This will be his second stint in England after an underwhelming spell at Arsenal where he was sacked after 18 months in the role.

He did reach the Europa League final but the Gunners were hammered 4-1 by rivals Chelsea in Baku. He has also managed PSG, where he won Ligue 1 once.

Emery’s first game will be against Manchester United.
