24 May 2018
Will Arsenal get the best out of Unai Emery? Will Emery get the best out of the players? Two questions that can have similar answers.
The Spaniard was chosen by the club in their quest for a new identity.
Arsene Wenger did a great job in his 22-year-stint, and Emery has big shoes to fill.
Here we decode what Emery brings as a leader.
Emery has the knack of winning trophies
Winner
What bodes well for Arsenal is that their new manager has the temperament to win trophies.
He won three successive Europa League titles with Sevilla and then achieved the treble in 2017-18 season with Paris Saint-Germain.
With Arsenal out of Champions League football, Emery's task will be to do well in Europa in 2018-19.
The Gunners bowed out of Europa semis in 2017-18.
A leader that will get time to rebuild
Time
Emery is a respected figure in football circuit and the time in Spain developed him.
In France, he worked with some of the best players and he handled them well.
And, at Arsenal it won't be any different.
The best part is that he has a rebuilding job to do, which will give him the time to get his philosophy in place.
Emery's style likely to suit Arsenal
Style
Emery is always clear in his head in terms of what he wants to do and achieve.
He is disciplined when it comes to training.
He plays an attacking game, with high pressing at times and that's a positive thing for the forward players.
Defensively he is sound and wary. The overall package makes him look like a good acquisition for the Gunners.
Big challenge in the Premier League for Emery
Challenge
Emery knows he has a bigger challenge than what he had in France with PSG.
Arsenal finished sixth in 2017-18 and the first job will be to gun down a Champions League berth.
Given the quality of teams in Premier League, the task will be cut out.
But that's why he has accepted this job. His analysis and intelligence will help Arsenal.
