PARIS (Reuters) - With Arsenal playing in the Europa League next season, they may find former Paris St Germain and Sevilla boss Unai Emery is the perfect fit to replace the departing Arsene Wenger as manager. The 46-year-old Basque, who is set to join Arsenal later this week according to British media reports, clinched three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla from 2014-16. Yet, after moving to PSG, his success on the European stage dried up as he tried to replicate his Sevilla heroics in the Champions League. Off the pitch, Emery was a gentle character who made an effort to speak French in his early days at PSG. Emery will be remembered as the man who led PSG to a resounding 4-0 win against Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League last year.
