Confirmed by Ornstein as your new manager.
Thoughts Gooners?

David Silva and Juan Mata are just a couple of star players that initially developed under Emery's management, and his europa league record speaks for itself, though his tactics in the Cl have been found wanting.
Not my preferred choice but i'm satisfied and will give him a fair chance.

I just want to know when the process of identifying a new manager began and how it proceeded. Did Emery plan to quit PSG with the prior knowledge that he was taking over from Wenger? Or did the Arsenal board get lucky that he was avaliable?

Not overly excited but looking forward to next season !
Board are kantsss. I think they made a smoke screen with Arteta...so Emery obviously feels like good appointment compared to Arteta.

I think board were lucky that Emery became available...or else we were in deep trouble.

I think initially he'll do well, the contrast in style with Wenger could help add a bit more pragmatism to what's already a talented, technical squad.
I'm not sure about him long-term though (and I say that in the knowledge that no manager is likely to stay 10 years in this job, let alone 22) as I feel he has a touch of Benitez about him. Good cup manager but can be guilty of being too defensive to sustain a real league challenge. Also prone to bottling.

I thought it was always on the cards that he was to leave at the end of this season, his replacement got named a few months ago

Gonna need some better defenders in the summer. Emery’s teams aren’t very good defensively.

To be appointed later this week.
Perfectly satisfied by this.

Wenger announced he was leaving on 20th April, Emery on 27th April.
Add to the timing (Ligue 1 ended Saturday) it looks like this was always in the pipeline.
