Emery took Spanish side Villarreal to the Champions League semi-finals in the 2021-22 season.

The former Arsenal boss led the Yellow Submarine to a famous victory over Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, and they were only beaten by Liverpool in the last four.

Emery has now been appointed as Aston Villa's new head coach, and he will be hoping to guide the Midlands club to a successful season in the Premier League.
