As previously rumoured earlier this month, Unai Emery will take over as the new head coach of Villarreal. The Spanish club confirmed the appointment on Thursday, though they obviously still haven’t had a chance for a photoshoot with their new boss.

Instead, Villarreal used an edit of the above picture from Arsenal’s unveiling of Emery back in 2018. They just edited out the Arsenal badge on his jacket and replaced the background with a picture of their home ground.
