Unai Emery refuses to take on “new rich” Newcastle, and team remains without coach

This Wednesday, Unai Emery, currently from Villarreal and who has already commanded teams such as Arsenal and PSG, announced that he had turned down an offer to take over the “new rich” Newcastle and that he will stay with the Spanish club. The statement was released on social networks.

“Villarreal is my home and I’m 100% committed. Honestly, I’m grateful for the interest of a great club, but even more grateful to be here and that’s why I communicated my decision to continue to be part of this project because of the commitment and project that I perceive at the club and my players, which is mutual and reciprocal,” wrote the coach.

As a result, there are already four coaches who have refused to take over Newcastle since Steve Bruce’s resignation, according to BBC. Besides Emery, Antonio Conte, Joachim Low and Xavi were also considered.

The Italian has been announced as Tottenham’s new coach, while the former German national team coach still doesn’t want to go back to work. Xavi is the most likely to take charge of Barcelona after the resignation of Ronald Koeman.

So, according to the The Sun, the next names on the list are Eddie Howe, without a club since leaving Bournemouth in 2020, and Paulo Fonseca, ex-Rome.
