With the Gunners having once again fallen out from the top four, the Arsenal board knew it was time for a change. They replaced long-serving Arsene Wenger with former PSG coach Unai Emery.

Unai is a coach with great experience, and has won a hattrick of Europa Leagues with Sevilla from 2014 to 2016. He is one of Europe’s brightest managers and could take the London side to their first Premier League title in 18 years.

Emery shows tactical flexibility, often switching from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3. He likes to play a fast game as his teams often have possession of the ball for most of the time. He uses his full-backs to the greatest extent, and has extracted the best out of strikers like Carlos Bacca. Aubameyang will look to prosper immensely under him and will surely be a contender for the Golden Boot this season.
