Unai Emery is already the new Villarreal CF coach, as announced by AS last Sunday. The technician will direct the Submarine for the next three seasons. A transfer that is one of the biggest bets of the team from La Plana, who decides to trust a renowned coach for his bench. The technician will be presented this Monday at the Ceramic Stadium.
Emery arrives with one of the best cover letters for a technician who has led the team chaired by Fernando Roig, after passing through teams like Valencia, Seville, Arsenal or PSG. A signing that was already hatched in February, in which Villarreal and Emery already reached an initial agreement, although this had to be confirmed once the current season ended. Something that Villarreal already closed this weekend, communicating to Javi Calleja its non-continuity last Monday. And making the arrival of the Basque coach official today, thus confirming what was agreed months ago.
Emery comes to a team that has closed a good season and that will play in Europe, so the challenge is greater, since it will have to match or improve what has been achieved this season. Villarreal's commitment to Emery is to take a competitive leap, which makes the requirement for the Basque coach higher.
Emery has a total of 323 matches in the First Divisiona, with a baggage of 154 wins, 74 draws and 95 losses. To which he adds a total of 51 matches in the Premier with Arsenal, or 66 matches in Ligue One with PSG. What makes a total of 450 games in major leagueYes, to which he adds a great European experience, adding 131 games in total. With a record of a French League, three Europa Leagues, two French Super Cups and two French Cups.
