Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until at least 2027. The Spaniard’s existing deal still had two years to run but he has agreed terms for an additional 12 months, the PA news agency understands.
Villa are also keen to sit down with the 52-year-old in the summer and discuss a new longer-term contract. Emery has done an impressive job at Villa Park, guiding them from a relegation fight when taking over from Steven Gerrard in November 2022 to the brink of Champions League qualification this season.
They are also in the semi-final of the Europa Conference League, where they play Olympiacos, and are the favourites to win the tournament which would represent a first European trophy since 1982.
Emery’s impressive work at Villa Park has attracted attention from other clubs, including Bayern Munich, who are looking for a new manager. However, Emery has committed his future to Villa, and he is determined to lead the club to success in the coming years.
Since arriving at Villa Park, Emery has transformed the team’s fortunes. He has instilled a winning mentality and has got the players playing with confidence and belief. Villa are now one of the most exciting teams to watch in the Premier League, and they are capable of beating anyone on their day.
Emery’s contract extension is a major boost for Villa. It shows that the club is ambitious and that they believe in Emery’s ability to lead them to success. With Emery at the helm, Villa have a bright future ahead of them.
