ASTON VILLA have appointed former Arsenal boss Unai Emery as the club’s new head coach.
The 50-year-old Spaniard succeeds Steven Gerrard, who was sacked following Villa’s 3-0 Premier League defeat against Fulham last week.
Villa said that Emery, who will join them from Villarreal, will take over from November 1 after work permit formalities are completed.
