Unai Emery agrees a new three-year contract at Aston Villa

Aston Villa have reportedly extended the contract of boss Unai Emery until 2027, amid interest from elsewhere. The Spaniard, 52, has had a stunning impact at Villa Park since joining from Villarreal in October 2022. After taking over a side who were just one point clear of the relegation zone, Emery guided them to a seventh place finish and qualification for the Europa Conference League. In fact, from his appointment to the end of last season, Villa picked up 49 points from 25 games, a record that was only bettered by Man City, Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool.
