Arsenal has announced former Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery as their new boss on Wednesday. He is tasked with revitalizing a club that has dropped well behind their Premier League rivals.

The Spaniard, who won the domestic treble with Paris Saint-Germain this season, emerged as the shocking favourite to replace Arsene Wenger earlier this week after it had appeared former Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta was in line to land the job at the Emirates.

Wenger left at the end of the season following a 22-year reign, with the club finishing sixth in the Premier League — 37 points behind champions Manchester City — and failing to qualify for the Champions League.

“I am thrilled to be joining one of the great clubs in the game,” Emery, 46, told Arsenal’s website.

“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. I’m very excited to be given the responsibility to start this important new chapter in Arsenal’s history.”
