Robert Pires’ Verdict on First Season of Emery

Robert Pires, the iconic player from Arsenal strongly believes that Unai Emery is the ideal manager who will bring in success for the North Londoners. Unai Emery has come as a replacement for Arsene Wenger in the last summer and has experienced underwhelming first season taking charge of the club. Arsenal has missed out on the football of Champions League once again after it failed to finish in the position of top 4 and suffered a defeat in the Europa League final by Chelsea, the rivals.

Since the club failed to secure a place in the elite club competition of Europe, it had an effect on the transfer budget of Emery. According to the reports, the Spaniard was given £45m for making his ranks stronger during summer. However, Pires won 2 titles of Premier League during the spell with Arsenal and believes that Emery will be able to bring in good times to Arsenal. According to Pires, they have to take one step after the other. Now, Emery is the manager and he has enjoyed a great season. He says that the first season had been pretty difficult as he was being compared to Arsene Wenger and quite, unfortunately, they had lost the final match against Chelsea.

However, he feels that Unai Emery is a good manager for Arsenal. Maybe people have to say to him that there is time and he can build the team in the next season and everybody has to believe in the manager. Freddie Ljungberg, the former teammate of Pier from Arsenal is all set to be the new assistant of the team and is going to take charge of the under-23 team of the club. The former midfielders have appreciated the appointment that will see him step up from his present position with under-23 for working with Emery.
