PREMIER LEAGUE MANAGER AWARDED NEW CONTRACT AFTER BRILLIANT 2023-24 SEASON

Aston Villa have handed manager Unai Emery a new contract which runs until 2027.

Emery, who replaced Steven Gerrard as manager in 2022, has guided the club to fourth-place in the Premier League and a chance of Champions League football next season.

Villa are also through to the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League where they will face Olympiacos, with the club chasing its first piece of silverware since 1996.

Emery, 52, had been linked with moves elsewhere, but has now penned a deal with Villa for the next three years.

Villa are currently six points clear of fifth-place Tottenham Hotspur, with four games left to play in the Premier League.

Next up for the Midlands side is a home match against Chelsea on Saturday, 27 April.
