Arsenal are set to appoint Unai Emery as their new manager.

Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta was strong favourite to succeed the outgoing Arsene Wenger.

But following a thorough recruitment process that involved all candidates being spoken to, Emery emerged as the unanimous choice.

The 46-year-old Spaniard is available after leaving Paris St-Germain where he won one Ligue 1 title and four domestic cups in two seasons in charge.

Previously he guided Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League triumphs between 2014 and 2016.



He announced last month he would leave PSG when his contract expired at the end of the season and was replaced by former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel, who had also been linked with the Arsenal job.

Emery's English is not completely fluent but the language barrier is not expected to be a problem.


An announcement and news conference are expected later this week.

The recruitment process was led by Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis, head of football relations Raul Sanllehi and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.

Unai to premier league, interesting. Forget about psg barca match, this guy is Good

modified; he has been appointed

Thank God they later realised there's a difference btwn A youth Corper and a Professional. Why will you think of appointing someone who gives water bottle to Aguero as coach. Arsenal smoking SK since...

He wasn't even among the coaches in contention, how did he get squeezed in?

Last week was all about Arteta taking the job, this week Emery, next week who's it going to be?

Emery tho.

Honestly, would have loved Nagelsmann though.
Emery did well in valencia and sevilla though, psg was too 'unstable' for him.

I Just hope he does well

Not Arteta anymore?!

Ok

Being a coach in England Premier leagues is one of the toughest challenges a coach shouldn't pray of.

here we go

Frying pan to fire

Trash club

RIP Arsenal

Hahaha...

Well arsenal been no even get plans to go far for champions league, and that's if they'll qualify.

Meanwhile, Arteta right now...

I would have won a bet if my challenger wasnt such a coward.

I knew they would go for this guy even before he thought of the possibility.

Ehen this one is better than Arteta mbok.

This man that could not do anything with a star studded PSG.....

Na him arsenal go sign?

I don die!

tomorrow they will be looking for Sunday oliseh....bunch of confused fvcktards

Better appointment.
Arteta was a risk not worth taking.
Umery brings relative youth,knowledge,experience and will follow in the attacking,exciting football tradition that won Arsenal fans worldwide.

And ye my son(arsenal)shall be saved from early death

With 50m summer budget to buy players?



6th Avenue never tire Una

Well l have nothing to say or wish to the Gunners.. maybe to top 10 next season because is going to be hazard for them to bring this stubborn man to Emirate

This one will just buy expensive players and still won't get d expected result

Unai to premier league, intresting. Forget about psg barca match, this guy is Good

...interesting...

Good to settle for an achiever who is ever hungry, unlike the satisfied failure that was asked to go, or Arteta who would be satisfied with just staying above relegation.

Might be another arsene wenger

OLUWA has delivered these club. They have been bondage for a very long time

Whats the worth?
