Prior to moving to the Premier League, Emery won a Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain, as well as two French Cups and two French League Cups. He was brilliant at Valencia, always getting them into the Champions League places. He's had a lot of success with teams just below the elite, almost fighting against the biggest clubs. Emery's previous managerial spell in the Premier League ended three years ago when he was sacked by Arsenal. The Spaniard will hold a farewell press conference with Villarreal on Tuesday. He joined the club in the summer of 2020 and led them to glory in the Europa League - at United's expense - at the end of his first season.
