LONDON—Arsenal fired Unai Emery on Friday following its worst run of form in 27 years, and 18 months after the Spaniard succeeded Arsene Wenger as manager of the Premier League club. In the Premier League, Arsenal has dropped to eighth place. Arsenal finished fifth in the league in Emery’s first season and reached the Europa League final, losing to Chelsea. Emery is the third Premier League manager to depart this season after Pochettino and Watford’s Javi Gracia. After losing his opening Premier League games to Chelsea and Manchester City in August 2018, Emery’s Arsenal went on a 22-game unbeaten run.
