When the Spaniard replaced Steven Gerrard in November 2022, Villa was 16th in the Premier League and facing relegation.
In a stunning comeback, 52-year-old Emery led Villa to a seventh-place result and Europa League qualification—the team’s first appearance in European competition since 2010–11.
They are currently fourth in the Premier League and aim to qualify for the Champions League. With two games remaining, Tottenham trails them by six points.
Emery claimed to have “the right structure to develop this football club” and that he and his backroom team “share the vision of the owners”.
