Aston Villa announced Monday that they have agreed a new five-season contract with Unai Emery after the Spanish manager qualified the team for the Champions League for the first time in 41 years by sealing fourth place in the Premier League.
The Basque manager arrived at Villa Park in October 2022, with Birmingham's top club only three points above the English relegation zone.
“We are building something special here at Aston Villa with Unai at its core and we are delighted that he has signed a new deal with the club until 2029," said Nassef Sawiris.
Unai Emery was very happy after the renewal: “I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club. Since I came to Villa with Wes and Nassef we found always the best environment and structure to develop a project with the highest ambition.
Emery also had words of thanks for Monchi, his sporting director general, and Damian Vidagany, director of football operations, with whom he shares the "same vision and objectives".
“All the football structure with Monchi and Damian and the owners, we share the same vision and same goals. There’s a great chemistry in Aston Villa. And the element of the fans’ support also makes the difference to feel like home. We are really excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams.”
