Arsenal appointed former Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery as their new manager to succeed Arsene Wenger on Wednesday May 23,2018
Emery, who joined PSG in June 2016, left the French club at the end of this season, having led them to a domestic treble.
The 46-year-old Spaniard had previously been the manager at Sevilla, whom he steered to three Europa League triumphs.
While he had helped PSG continue their domestic dominance, his departure was assured when they failed to make significant headway in the Champions League for the second successive campaign.
PSG, who have won five French league titles in six years and are owned by big-spending Qatar Sports Investments, have struggled for success on the European stage.
Emery’s team were beaten in the last-16 of the Champions League by Real Madrid this season despite breaking the world transfer record to sign Brazil striker Neymar, and were knocked out at the same stage last season by Barcelona.
Arsenal announced the appointment on Twitter, with a video captioned, "A new dawn. A new era. A new chapter. #WelcomeUnai"
