If Aston Villa wants to make him their Sir Alex Ferguson, it's not for nothing. Before the arrival of Unai Emery on the bench in November 2022, Aston Villa were struggling to maintain their position. Seventh at the end of the first exercise (best ranking since 2010), qualifying the team for the Europa Conference League where they are still in the running to win the trophy (in the semi-final against Olympiakos), Villa is now in the race to qualify for the Champions League. Fourth in the Premier League before hosting Chelsea this Saturday, the Birmingham team is close to rediscovering the greatness they have known in the past.
