Unai Emery,
who guided Spanish club Sevilla to its third straight Europa League
title last month, has been named as the new coach of Paris
Saint-Germain(PSG)
'I am very
happy to welcome Unai Emery as new coach of Paris Saint Germain,' PSG
president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said. 'Unai will bring all of his
experience, passion and qualities in terms of his coaching and on a
human level.'
A
former midfielder with Real Sociedad, Emery coached Valencia from
2008-2012 before taking charge of Sevilla in 2013, following a brief
spell at Spartak Moscow.
The French champions said in a statement on Tuesday June 28,2016 that Emery has signed a two-year deal, with the option for an extra year.
The 44-year-old Spaniard replaces Laurent Blanc at PSG
Laurent Blanc was fired,only months after he signed a new two-year contract.
Despite
leading PSG to back-to-back domestic trebles - an unprecedented level
of success in the French league - Blanc fell short in Europe, failing to
get beyond the quarter-finals of the Champions League during his three
seasons in charge.
