Aston Villa have appointed Villarreal boss Unai Emery as their new head coach.
After Arsenal sacked him in 2019, Emery will return to England to become Villa boss, replacing Steven Gerrard who was sacked last week.
The 50-year-old will start his new role on November 1 after his work permit formalities are completed, meaning his first match in charge will be at home to Manchester United on Sunday, November 6.
