Spanish club, Villareal, have announced the signing of former Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, on a three year contract on Thursday.

The Yellow Submarines confirmed the announcement of Emery's acquisition on its official Twitter handle today.

Recall that the former Paris Saint Germain coach was sacked by his previous emplayers Arsenal in November after failing to successfully charge the Gunners the right direction after succeeding Arsene Wenger.

Emery will now succeed former Villarreal boss Javier Calleja who left the club last week after leading them to a fifth-place finish in La Liga, ensuring qualification for next season's Europa League.

Prior to a spells in charge at Paris Saint-Germain, Sevilla and Spartak Moscow, Emery managed Villarreal's local rivals Valencia from 2008-2012.

Emery made a name for himself as Sevilla boss after guiding the club to three consecutive Europa League titles.
