Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has signed a new five-year contract with the club after taking them into next season’s Champions League.
The 52-year-old Spaniard has turned Villa around since arriving from Villarreal in October 2022 with the club sitting 17th in the Premier League.
He led them to seventh place in his first season in charge and fourth this campaign.
“I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club,” said Emery, whose existing deal still had another three years to run.
Former Sevilla and Arsenal boss Emery also took Villa, the 1982 European Cup champions, to the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League this season in their first European campaign for 13 years.
