Emery Unai signs contract extension with Aston Villa

London

Aston Villa have announced that Unai Emery has signed a contract extension with the club, as he puts pen to paper on a deal that will run until 2027.

Since taking charge in October 2022, Emery has overseen a tremendous rise with the club, guiding them to qualification in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification last season and then a place in the semi-finals of that competition this season. They are now pursuing a place in the Champions League sitting fourth with four matches to go.

“We are enjoying our way together with Villa fans, the club owners, management and this great group of players that we are proud of,” Emery said on the Club’s official website.

“Me and the football management… we share the vision of the owners. Nassef [Sawiris] and Wes [Edens] are very supportive and respectful, and we have a good environment and the right structure to develop this football club.

“We must maintain the hard-working spirit, clever decisions and coordination with the ownership that we have found during this time. We will work to get better and better. And we will demand from each other. Ambition already is, and must always be, the motto of this project.”
