OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED: Emery Signs a Fresh 5-Year Contract With Aston Villa amidst Champions League looms

Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa,

has inked a new five-year deal with the team after leading them into the Champions League for the next season.

 

Since joining Villa from Villarreal in October 2022, the 52-year-old Spaniard has turned the team around,

and as of now, Villa is ranked 17th in the Premier League.

In his first season as manager, Emery guided them to seventh place; in this one, they finished fourth.

 

“I am thrilled to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club,”

Emery stated, adding that he still had three years left on his current contract.

 

The camaraderie within Aston Villa is excellent.

Additionally, the support of the fans plays a crucial role in making the place feel like home.

 

“We are really excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams,” he said.

 

In Villa’s first European campaign in thirteen years,

Emery also led the 1982 European Cup winners to the Europa Conference League semifinals this season.

 

“We are building something special here at Aston Villa with Unai at its core,

and we are delighted that he has signed a new deal with the club until 2029,” stated Nassef Sawiris, the chairman of the team.

 

“As we move into our historic, 150th anniversary year, there is a lot to look forward to with Unai at the helm.”

 

Aston Villa undoubtedly want to bolster their squad this summer after the superb achievement of

reaching the Champions League – but the news that manager Unai Emery has agreed a

new five-year contract means they have already captured the most vital signature of all.

 

Emery extended his current deal until 2027 in April but this was always with the intention of

a longer-term extension once the season finished.

Villa have wasted no time in tying up their inspirational manager for the future.

 

The Spaniard has overseen a stunning rejuvenation of Villa since succeeding the sacked Steven Gerrard in October 2022.

 

Emery’s new contract is a sign of ambition from Villa’s owners but also an indication of the faith he has in them,

in partnership with his long-time associate, Villa’s president of football operations Monchi.

 

The fact that Emery has taken them into the Champions League was beyond fans’ most optimistic expectations this season.

 

Emery has put Villa ahead of schedule but there will be no complaints as they mix with the Champions League big names for the first time.

They will feel confident of making an impact under a manager with such pedigree in the European environment, one who already has four second-tier Europa League titles to his name.

He has already assumed hero status at Villa Park and it will be a source of joy to everyone at the club that Emery has now signed up until 2029.
