"Aston Villa Manager Unai Emery Extends Contract Until 2027"
Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, has agreed to extend his contract with the Premier League club, committing to lead the team until at least 2027.
Despite having two years remaining on his existing deal, Emery has agreed to an additional 12-month extension, according to sources from the PA news agency.
Aston Villa is eager to further solidify their relationship with the 52-year-old, with plans to engage in discussions for a longer-term contract during the summer.
Emery's tenure at Villa Park has been marked by notable success, transforming the team from a relegation-threatened position when he took over from Steven Gerrard in November 2022 to contenders for Champions League qualification this season.
Currently positioned in the Europa Conference League semi-final, where they will face Olympiacos, Aston Villa is considered the frontrunners to clinch the trophy, which would mark their first European title since 1982.
Emery's remarkable achievements have drawn attention from other top European clubs, with recent links to the managerial vacancy at Bayern Munich.
Following a seventh-placed finish last season, Aston Villa has made significant progress under Emery's guidance this term, with a strong chance of securing fourth place and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the club's history.
Despite the pressure of a demanding fixture schedule, including Thursday and Sunday matches, Villa has managed their campaign effectively, currently holding a six-point lead over fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have two games in hand.
A crucial fixture against Chelsea awaits Villa on Saturday night, presenting an opportunity to extend their lead over Spurs to nine points, with Tottenham scheduled to face Arsenal on Sunday.
