Football - Premier League - Aston Villa v Crystal Palace - Villa Park, Birmingham, Britain - March 4, 2023 Aston Villa manager Unai Emery and Emiliano Buendia speak during the match REUTERSPIX: Unai Emery is finally winning admirers in the Premier League after revitalising Aston Villa just five months into his redemptive return to English football.
Since the 51-year-old's first game in early November, only leaders Arsenal and second-placed Manchester City have earned more than Villa's haul of 32 points. That success led to a turbulent two-year stint at Paris Saint-Germain, which featured a Ligue 1 title triumph but also a tense relationship with the club's star forward Neymar.
Emery also took Villarreal to last season's Champions League semi-finals, beating Juventus and Bayern Munich on the way. This time he has hit the ground running, with his honesty and amiable personality winning over a squad that lacked direction and unity under Gerrard.
