Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has confirmed that contract talks are underway, stating the club aims to "set our project stronger with a deal." The Spanish coach addressed the media ahead of the team's UEFA Champions League fixture against FC Barcelona, scheduled for the 2026/27 league phase matchday four.
Emery's current contract runs until 2027, and discussions over an extension reflect the club's ambition to build on recent progress. The 52-year-old has guided Villa to European competition and a top-four Premier League finish since his appointment in 2022.
