Arsenal Fans Got Me Sacked, Says Unai Emery

Arsenal Fans Got Me Sacked, Says Unai Emery

Former Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has claimed the Gunners fans were the reason he was sacked during his time at the Emirates Stadium.

Emery was appointed to replace Arsene Wenger on a two-year deal in May 2018 with the option for a further year, after lack of success in the latter part of the Frenchman’s tenure.

In his first season in England, the 48-year-old could not secure a top-four finish with Arsenal, but successfully guided them to a Europa League final in Baku, where they eventually lost to London rivals Chelsea.

The Spanish coach was sacked in November following a series of poor results and a winless run of seven games.

Few months after his dismissal, Emery has cited a number of issues for his exit, which includes the fans’ attitude towards him.

"There were several problems: four captains; the [Mesut] Ozil - [Sead] Kolasinac case; [Nicolas] Pepe's signing, which needs time to be that of France ... We didn't play well, that's for sure,” the Spaniard told Marca.

"That brought us bad results, there was no improvement, the fans focused on me and they threw me out. But I keep the positive things, there were many.”

"I had the funeral and mourning. After my cessation, I dreamed a month of things about Arsenal. It was a natural process. And I overcame that duel.”

"When I no longer dreamed them, I already knew that I had overcome it. Now I am already feeding myself.”
