Unai Emery Signs New Five-Year Contract at Aston Villa After Guiding Them To Champions League Qualification

Aston Villa has officially announced that head coach Unai Emery has signed a new five-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2029. Emery's exceptional leadership guided Villa to a fourth-place finish in the 2023-24 Premier League season, securing their qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

Since I came to Villa with Wes [Edens] and Nassef [Sawiris], we found the best environment and structure to develop a project with the highest ambition. All the football structure with Monchi and Damian [Vidagany] and the owners, we share the same vision and goals. There’s a great chemistry in Aston Villa. The fans' support makes the difference, and it feels like home. We are excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams.”

Nassef Sawiris, the club's chairman, added, "We are building something special here at Aston Villa with Unai at its core. We are delighted that he has signed a new deal with the club until 2029. As we move into our historic 150^th anniversary year, there is a lot to look forward to with Unai at the helm.”

Emery's tenure at Villa began with a dramatic turnaround, taking the team from 17^th to seventh in the Premier League table during his first season. This positioned Aston Villa for their first European campaign in 13 years, which saw them reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
