LONDON (Reuters) - Unai Emery paid a glowing tribute to the legacy of former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as he held his first news conference hours after being named as the Frenchman's successor on Wednesday. Speaking in stilted English after being introduced to awaiting media by club CEO Ivan Gazidis at the Emirates Stadium, the Spaniard also said he was proud to follow in Wenger's footsteps. "It's a big challenge but I've worked also with other big projects and for me I am proud to be here and to work after Arsene Wenger," he told reporters. "Thanks Arsene Wenger for your legacy, for all the coaches in all the world he is revered and I learn with him all the things in football," he said. The objective is to work hard together and with these talented players to work," he said.
