Wenger reveals mistake Arsenal made with Unai Emery

Arsene Wenger, the legendary Arsenal manager, has claimed that the club did not give his successor, Unai Emery, enough time.

Emery took over for Wenger in the summer of 2018, after the Frenchman had been in charge of the Premier League club for 22 years.

However, after only 18 months at the Emirates, he was fired after the Gunners missed out on a top-four spot by a point, finishing fifth behind Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsenal lost 4-1 to London rivals Chelsea in the Europa League final.

Mikel Arteta was brought in to replace Emery and won the FA Cup the following season.

Despite failing to qualify for Europe last season, Arteta has been given the opportunity to implement his style and philosophy on the team, and his patience has paid off this season.

When asked if Emery was treated unfairly at Arsenal, Wenger told BEIN Sports: “They didn’t give him enough time, but there is a lot to talk about.” Is it, for example, correct that a team that does not advance from the group stages can compete in the Europa League?

“For the last 10 years, the teams who are not successful in the Champions League go on to win the UEFA Cup. So, he has transformed a non-successful team into a successful one with Sevilla.

“It was more to give an importance to the trophy than to the sporting integrity. I think Unai Emery is a great coach, he has shown it in Spain and he is constantly at the top level.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
