So Unai Emery is our new head coach, not manager lol.

Just been confirmed on sky sports news.

Interesting they don’t class him as a manager but as a head coach.

Welcome to Arsenal Unai, let’s hope he gets off to a good start and gets us back to the CL and hopefully have us challenging for the title soon.

His first press conference at 2pm on sky sports news.

Was always going to be that way with the structure changes that had already been made

Of course but a manger is massively influential

Its like any business if you have a good boss you tend to put a shift in when required etc

If your boss is an idiot who you dont respect then workers tend to slack off

So is it just down to motivation then?

The_One · 23 May 2018 at 10:40

Of course not but i’d say a heavily motvated average player is better performance wise than a world class talent who isnt happy with his manager or where he is

Like most top teams in Europe then, most may say manager but most have a similar structure like we now have.

I’d take Arteta at Everton over Silva. Good appointent by Arsenal. I think people’s expectations will be over what he can realistically achieve though.

Yas786 · 23 May 2018 at 11:24

Yeh I suppose that’s one of the reasons why Wenger left, due to him no longer being in full control.

Interesting Robbie from AFTV is on sky sports talking about Emery. Seems to be pretty positive about him, how long that lasts will remain to be seen

Robbie has always been positive. People **** AFTV just because 2-3 are over the top. The majority there talk sense like you

I'm not sure if you've just insulted Yas or complimented him but either way I laughed

Gazidis revealed that the Spaniard was on an eight-man shortlist for the job, but was the club's main target.

"All eight took part in extensive interviews and none of them withdrew from the process," said the chief executive, who added that the job was the most attractive in world football. "We were in a fortunate position to name our first choice. Our first interview was on 25 April and our last was on the 15 May. A formal recommendation to the board was supported by a 100-page dossier with a great degree of background information."

O RLY

Gazidis said the former Valencia, Sevilla and Paris St-Germain boss impressed the interview panel with his "meticulous preparation". "He was extraordinarily well prepared with a knowledge of Arsenal and an analysis of all of our players, their qualities and how he can help them develop."

Reading that pleases me.

Asked whether he will need a recruitment drive this summer, Emery said: "I believe we can grow with the players we have. The objective is to work hard together and with these talented players."

Less so that.

I can't wait to see the reaction of Arsenal fans next season if he has them outside the top four. Arsenal will end up like all of the other clubs now sacking their manager whenever targets are not met and bringing in whoever is available at the time. It's a downward spiral.

That's been the case since the dawn of time . You just started watching footy this year ?Before Wenger many managers got the sack for not meeting a target .

I am very interested to know why Claudio Ranieri was sacked as Leicester manager, when he brought them the PL title.
They should name him as the best man they have ever had and build a monument in the city centre.

Yeah but it doesn't have to be that way, it's just a culture in football. It's very rare that managers will meet their targets every single season, some seasons they might miss them, others they might surpass them. The trouble is clubs/fans aren't willing to take the rough with the smooth and just bin off their manager for a new one, who is often a worse manager.

Where were you?? Hiding under a rock?? He won the title but next season had them almost relegated. No team would keep a manager that has them close to relegation after winning a title.

There's a good group to start working with and to add to. Lacazette and Aubameyang both have really good goals per min/game for Arsenal, right? So at the expensive end of the field they're reasonably stocked. Basically it's a decent squad with some very good players... so they're not starting from rock bottom... proper transfer talk has to go elsewhere, though.

Yes, I'm cerain that he'll be able to get more out of what we have in terms of organising, improving and not going easy on people underperforming. He seems very different to Wenger in that he's mroe attuned to developing the modern young footballer (which I've read is a different animal to the kind 10-20 years ago). He's got a wealth of attacking talent to work with too. Retirement, injury/age and final-year-of-contract-will-they-stay-or-go stuff means we have some gaps that absolutely need plugging at the other end though.

Hmm, are they doing better now? He deserved much more respect than he got. Plus, no one expected any miracles from them. Except maybe the owners but I guess next seasons they will go to the second league, anyways.

All in all not a bad recruitment. Lots of experience, hates Mourinho, has won things at different clubs. Hopefully everyone will back him now, having a fanbase that was split wasn't healthy. I'm very interested in seeing who he selects as club captain!
