France football power house, Paris Saint-Germain, PSG, have named former Sevilla manager Unai Emery as their new manager. He will now be faced with the challenge of ending PSG’s hunt for a Champions League crown.
The 44-year-old has signed a two-year deal at Parc des Princes after guiding Sevilla to three Europa League trophies.
Emery told the club’s official website, “The club has become one of the biggest in Europe over the past few seasons and I am both happy and honoured to be able to help realise its great ambitions.
“I am eager to meet up with my new players as well as the people who work tirelessly every day to help the club grow.
“I know that an immense fervour exists around the Paris Saint-Germain and I will be giving my best to ensure its millions of fans have a great deal to cheer about.”
Sevilla hired former Chile boss, Jorge Sampaoli after it became apparent Emery would depart to PSG.
Laurent Blanc was sacked by the French champions on Monday, despite winning three straight Ligue 1 titles.
