Matt Maher gives his take on Aston Villa manager Unai Emery's new deal

Matt Maher discusses Unai Emery's new deal at Aston Villa.

Published May 27, 2024
Last updated May 28, 2024

The Spaniard has committed his long-term future to the club by agreeing a deal through to 2029.

Emery has dramatically transformed Villa’s fortunes since being appointed in October 2022 when they sat just above the relegation zone. This season’s fourth-placed finish was their highest since 1996 and secured qualification for next season’s Champions League.
