Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is in discussions with the club over a new contract, according to reports on Friday. The Spanish coach, who has guided Villa into European competition since his appointment in October 2022, is negotiating terms to extend his stay at Villa Park.
Emery's current deal runs until 2027, but the club's hierarchy is keen to reward his progress and secure his long-term future. Under his leadership, Villa finished fourth in the Premier League last season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over 40 years.
The 52-year-old former Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Villarreal manager has won widespread praise for his tactical acumen and man-management since arriving in the West Midlands. Talks are understood to be at an advanced stage, with both parties optimistic about reaching an agreement.
