Teamtalk: Aston Villa coach Unai Emery could lead Barcelona
The head coach of Birmingham’s Aston Villa, Unai Emery, may lead the Catalan Barcelona. This was reported by the Teamtalk portal.
According to the source, the club management wanted to invite the Spanish specialist and expects him to replace Xavi as head coach. It is noted that the coach himself has not yet decided on the answer.
On January 28, Xavi announced his departure from Barcelona at the end of the season. He said he discussed the decision with the club’s board as the team needed a change of direction.
Emery was appointed head coach of Spartak Moscow in June 2012, but was fired five months later. After that, under his leadership, the Spanish Sevilla became a three-time winner of the Europa League, and Villarreal became a one-time winner. PSG won the French championship with their coach.
