Unai Emery agrees new five-year contract as Aston Villa manager

The Spaniard led the club to fourth place in the Premier League last season,

securing Champions League qualification for the first time in the club’s history.

During his first season in charge, Unai led Villa from 17th to 7th place in the table,

bringing European football back to the club after 13 years.

Chairman Nassef Sawiris stated, “We are building something special here at Aston Villa with Unai at its core,

and we are delighted that he has signed a new contract with the club until 2029.”

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

Unai stated, “I am really pleased to take this step and accept the responsibility of leading this team.

“Since I moved to Villa with Wes and Nassef,

we’ve always found the greatest environment and structure for developing a project with the highest ambition.

“The entire football hierarchy, including Monchi, Damian, and the owners, shares the same vision and aims.

“Aston Villa has excellent team chemistry. The presence of fans also contributes to a sense of belonging.

We are very pleased to continue on this path, with no limitations to our aspirations.”
