Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery (left) and departing Arsenal bo s Arsene WengerArsenal look set to appoint Paris Saint-Germains departing manager Unai Emery as Arsene Wengers replacement, but the Gunners didnt even have the Spaniard on their radar until 10 days ago, says the .Mikel Arteta was believed to be the frontrunner to become the next Arsenal manager before Emery edged his way ahead of his inexperienced countryman. So, what happened?Arsenal got cold feet over ArtetaManchester City a sistant manager Mikel Arteta was set to replace Wenger Marcus Semien Jersey as Arsenal manager this summer, after Ma similiano Allegri opted to stay at Juventus and Julian Nagelsmann committed his future to Hoffenheim. The Spanish coach played for the Gunners between 2011 and 2016, making over 140 appearances in all competitions, and would have been received well by supporters.Arteta has been by City manager Pep Guardiola and Tottenham Hotspur bo s Mauricio Pochettino who tried to appoint him to his backroom team before the Sky Blues agreed a deal in 2016. The 36-year-old would have been head coach, working alongside a Head of Recruitment, Head of Football Relations and Contracts Negotiator, but the Gunners got cold feet.The Telegraph say Arsenal were wary that Arteta hadnt managed a club before, so Rickey Henderson Jersey when Emery become available they interviewed him and were impre sed by his presentation. The 46-year-old has taken charge of six clubs, winning eight major trophies, and would be the safer option given his track record.Its worth noting, however, that Emerys CV highlights his greatest strengths and weakne ses as a manager. He shares some similarities to Wenger in regard to how his sides perform domestically and in the Champions League, but comes to Khris Davis Jersey Arsenal boasting some past European succe s and as a title-winner most recently.Emerys CV is both succe sful and underwhelmingEmery spent three-and-a-half-years at Sevilla, winning three Europa League titles and reaching the final of the Copa Del Rey. But his time at the Ramn Snchez Pizjun Stadium was marred by the clubs underachievement in La Liga and the Champions League, perhaps highlighting a lack of focus where it mattered.Sevillas final positions in La Liga under Emery2012/13 (9th) 50 points2013/14 (5th) 63 points2014/15 (5th) 76 points2015/16 (7th) 52 pointsAs a result of Sevilla finishing outside of the top-four in each of his four seasons at the Santiago Casilla Jersey club, they didnt play in the Champions League under Emery. It wasnt until the winner of the 2015/16 Europa League would be granted a place in the top European competition in 2016/17 that Sevilla finally got a taste of it.His time at Paris Saint-Germain was mixed too. He came away from the Parc des Princes with one Ligue 1 title, two Coupe de Frances and two Coupe de Matt Olson Jersey la Ligues, but lost out on the title in his first season to Monaco and hasnt made it past the last-16 with the most expensively a sembled Paris Saint-Germain side in history.Hes won the Europa League but has a poor record in the Champions League and couldnt get Sevilla into the top-four despite having four bites of the cherry. Arsenal have finished outside of the Champions League spots in each of the last two seasons, so is Emery really the man to help turn things around? Its worth noting that he wasnt on their shortlist until the eleventh hour.
