Unai Emery’s position as Aston Villa’s head coach is increasingly under the microscope, as reported by Spanish media sources.
Despite leading the club to an impressive high last season and securing Champions League football for the first time in decades, Villa endured the rocky start of a new campaign.
With far less results, there is growing speculation that Emery could soon face the exit door if performance doesn’t improve quickly.
Aston Villa to Sack Manager Unai Emery?
The villa walls that “lost the spark” have been growing, according to Estadio Deportivo, a Spanish newspaper with a long bond with Unai Emery and his former sports director Monchi.
Aston Villa has yet to register for a victory in the Premier League this season after five games. Their defensive frailty and inability to consistently impose themselves on a game that demands control have made fans irritated.
Perhaps most worrying is that Villa is unable to score in the first four league matches. Their offensive struggle was ultimately broken against Sunderland, but their lonely goal was under fewer circumstances than ideal, and Sunderland left the man out.
With more pressure, Villa was knocked out of the EFL cup by Brentford’s hand.
The villa is currently in the demolition zone
Emery’s Aston Villa is at a turning point. This early results of the Premier League season are at odds with Hiber, set by both fans and club leadership.
Emery’s past achievements give him some bounty, but there is growing pressure for the manager to restore his beliefs and for the club to begin delivering his ambitions.
Villa is currently 18th in the current Premier League standings, far from where fans, players and managers wanted them.
Despite his struggle with the villa, Emery has recently linked his move to Manchester United.
