As the source informs, Aston Villa bosses paid compensation to Emery's former club Villarreal, which amounted to 6 million euros. In Aston Villa, the Spaniard will receive 7 million euros per year.

Villarreal were powerless to stop Emery from leaving as his contract expired at the end of this season. "Aston Villa" used the option of retreating.

We will remind that Unai Emery already worked in the Premier League. From 2018 to 2019, he led the London "Arsenal", with which he reached the final of the Europa League.
