OFFICIAL: Paris Saint-Germain appoint Emery

Jun 29, 2016 

The former Sevilla manager takes his first strides into French football after being appointed as manager of the Ligue 1 champions on Tuesday after three years in Spain

Paris Saint-Germain have named Unai Emery as their new head coach, following the departure of Laurent Blanc.

The Spanish coach, who left Sevilla following the 2015-16 season, has signed a deal until June 2018.
Emery arrives at the Parc des Princes as the treble defending champion of the Europa League after leading the Andalusian club to three consecutive European titles.

PSG's Qatari owners are dedicated to securing European success for the capital club at the highest level, with Blanc's dismissal largely down to his exploits in the Champions League after 11 trophies and two trebles during his three years with the club.
The mammoth wealth of the French team means Emery has been appointed in a bid to reach the summit of Europe's elite competititon.

The Spaniard previously spent one season in Russia with Spartak Moscow and also has enjoyed spells with Valencia and Almeria.
