Aston Villa open talks to extend Unai Emery’s contract beyond 2029

Aston Villa have begun negotiations with manager Unai Emery over a new contract, with the club keen to secure his long-term future.

Sports Mole reports that Aston Villa want to extend the Spanish coach’s current agreement so he can remain in charge beyond 2029.

Emery took over as Aston Villa manager in 2022 and has since guided the club to strong results and significant achievements in both the Premier League and European competition.

He led Aston Villa to victory in the Europa League last season, further strengthening his position at the club.

Aston Villa are currently 10th in the Premier League table, with 13 points from their opening 10 matches.

The club’s decision to open discussions reflects its desire for continuity under Emery, who has overseen the team’s progress since his appointment in 2022.
