Arsenal unveils Emery as he pays tribute to Wenger

Unai Emery used his opening press conference as Arsenal boss to thank Arsene Wenger for his legacy, as he revealed he made his final decision to take the job after a meeting with the club’s bosses in Atlanta this week.

The former Paris Saint-Germain boss opted to forgo his native Spanish, instead braving English for his first conversation with the media at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

Sitting alongside chief executive Ivan Gazidis, Emery was quick to praise Wenger after his 22-year reign: ‘Thank you Arsene Wenger for your legacy. All the work and all the coaching is a reference, and I learn with him all the things in football.
