PSG confirms Emery will replace Blanc
Three-time Europa League winner Unai Emery has been confirmed as Laurent Blanc's successor at Paris Saint-Germain.
Emery has been hired on a two-year deal to replace Laurent Blanc, who paid the price for an inability to get beyond the Champions League quarter-finals in any of his three seasons in charge.
Emery negotiated an early release from his contract at Sevilla, after guiding the Spanish club to three straight Europa League titles.
“It is with great pride that I agreed to become the Paris-Saint Germain coach,” Emery told the club's 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 Paris Saint-Germain and I will be giving my best to ensure its millions of fans have a great deal to cheer about.”
