Emery is a Spanish football manager and former player. He is currently the manager of Aston Villa in the Premier League and has previously managed Lorca Deportiva, Almeria, Valencia, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Villarreal.
He returned to the Premier League as Aston Villa's new head coach in October 2022 and guided the club to a seventh place finish and European football for the first time in 13 years.
Emery became Arsenal manager after the 2017/18 season, replacing the departing Arsene Wenger, who had been in charge of Arsenal for 22 years.
"I am thrilled to be joining one of the great clubs in the game. Arsenal is known and loved throughout the world for its style of play, its commitment to young players, the fantastic stadium, the way the club is run."
In the end, 2018/19 was a season of near misses for Emery and Arsenal.
In his first season in charge, Villarreal lifted the Europa League trophy, beating his old club Arsenal in the semi-finals and Manchester United on penalties in the final. It was the Yellow Submarine's first ever major trophy.
Villa secured seventh place and European football for the first time in 13 years at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Emery turned Villa from a side that were facing a relegation battle to one who finished 17 points better off than their previous campaign.
Emery's father and grandfather, Juan and Antonio respectively, were also footballers - both goalkeepers, whereas he was a left-sided midfielder. His uncle, Roman, also played football as a midfielder.
Emery earned a reported £6million per year at Aston Villa. His net worth is believed to be around £70m.
