Unai Emery has rejected a move to manage Newcastle United
In a recent report, Guillem Balague has stated that “Emery felt a huge pressure on the day of their match.” (match vs Young Boys in the Champions League) He further added that “And then there was the lack of a clear vision from the club. If you want him, do you approach him in such a rushed way, without an official offer and with it coming out from the English side that it is all practically done?” He concluded by saying, “I don’t see this move happening now this season. Maybe next year when the club’s structure is clearer and the vision more defined.”
Furthermore, the manager come out on social media and stated that “I am grateful for the interest of a great club, but even more grateful to be here.” Later he added, “Villarreal is my home and I am 100% committed.” To conclude his statement he added that “That is why I communicated to Fernando Roig my decision to want to continue being part of this project because of the commitment and respect that I perceive from the club and from my players, which is mutual and reciprocal.”
