Aston Villa Tie Down Manager Unai Emery Until 2027
Unai Emery has extended his contract as Aston Villa manager until the summer of 2027.
Emery has transformed the fortunes of Aston Villa since taking over from Steven Gerrard in November 2022.
The Birmingham-based club have risen from the relegation places to the challenge for the European spots since Emery was hired.
Aston Villa qualified for the Europa Conference League with a seventh place finish last season and they are fourth on the table going into the final weeks of the season.
They face Greek side Olympiacos in the semi-finals of the Conference League next week.
"We are enjoying our way together with Villa fans, the club owners, management and this great group of players that we are proud of," the 52-year-old said.
"Me and the football management... we share the vision of the owners. Nassef [Sawiris] and Wes [Edens] are very supportive and respectful, and we have a good environment and the right structure to develop this football club.
"We must maintain the hard-working spirit, clever decisions and coordination with the ownership that we have found during this time. We will work to get better and better. And we will demand from each other. Ambition already is, and must always be, the motto of this project."
