In case you have been residing below a rock, or riddled by one other equally affecting affliction, you will have observed that Arsenal have appointed a new supervisor lately. That supervisor can be Unai Emery, previously of Paris Saint-Germain, Sevilla and Valencia.
Although the Spaniard is but to supervise a Premier League encounter, that does not imply we will not prematurely scrutinise his English pedigree. That's as a result of he is already confronted a honest few of his fellow EPL managers.
Here is his document in opposition to them:
1. Pep Guardiola
W: Zero D: four L: 6
As you may in all probability surmise by the image, Emery's document in opposition to Guardiola isn't a fairly one. He is but to register a victory in opposition to Pep in 10 video games in opposition to him.
The low-lights embody two 4 objective losses and one three objective loss, all of which suggests he's at present sitting on a -15 objective distinction in opposition to the City supervisor.
Yikes.
2. Jose Mourinho
W: Zero D: 1 L: four
Another Manchester supervisor, one other winless document for Emery. Although all of it seems very amicable between the pair within the above image, I am unable to fairly think about why.
Perhaps it is as a result of in opposition to Jose there have been no 4 objective deficits - 6-Three was as dangerous because it acquired for Emery when up in opposition to Jose.
3. Manuel Pellegrini
W: Three D: Three L: 6
The 46-year-old should've been gutted when the previous Manchester City supervisor returned to the Premier League with West Ham.
Only three wins in 12 encounters represents one other shoddy document, though admittedly the caveat of Real Madrid have to be acknowledged. Still, there'll absolutely be a few nerves on the a part of Emery when it is time to head to the London Stadium.
4. Jurgen Klopp
W: 1 D: Zero L: Zero
FINALLY! A profitable document for Unai! And in opposition to the geggenpressing German meastro, no much less. Moreover, the Europa League closing win was a good exhibition of the Spaniard's tactical nous.
After going 1-Zero down, the Spaniard spurred on a three objective second half comeback to comfortably dispatch of Klopp's males. To be honest, there is no tougher process in world soccer than dealing with Emery within the Europa League - he merely does not lose.
5. Rafa Benitez
W: 1 D: Zero L: Zero
Another man linked to Liverpool, one other unbeaten document for Emery. This time, the only real victory got here throughout Rafa's tumultuous time in command of Los Blancos.
Once once more, the tactician overturned a one objective deficit by three objectives, and it was solely within the 92nd minute that James Rodriguez acquired a comfort second to avoid wasting of Madrid's blushes. Still, it wasn't sufficient for the Newcastle boss, and he was gone only one and a half months later.
6. Mauricio Pochettino
W: four D: 1 L: 2
While Spurs followers are understandably exulting over Mauricio Pochettino's new 5 12 months deal, his new North London rival will certainly be doing the identical throughout tow.
Indeed, 4 wins in seven video games over the Spurs boss ought to have Arsenal followers licking their lips in anticipation for all of the derbies to return below Emery's reign.
7. Javi Gracia
W: 5 D: 1 L: Zero
Considering Watford's observe document of sacking managers after a seemingly profitable interval in cost, it stays to be seen whether or not this explicit document can be relevant.
Even so, Vicarage Road ought to be a far happier place for Arsenal within the upcoming season than it was final season. I am certain Troy Deeney is quaking in his boots.
eight. Nuno Espirito Santo
W: 1 D: 1 L: 1
Honours are remarkably even between Emery and the Wolverhampton Wanderers gaffer. Having mentioned that, it will be honest to say that the Arsenal Head Coach holds the higher hand.
This is as a result of his sole victory over his Portuguese counterpart inflicted extra than simply a defeat on the 44 12 months previous - it was the loss that prompted his resignation from Valencia - Emery's former aspect, after all. Ouch, that is acquired to harm.
