Emery has made history. A legendary achievement for the Aston Villa coach

Unai Emery became the first Aston Villa coach in 40 years to lead the team to the Champions League, but this achievement was not the only one the Spaniard has celebrated.

Victory in the EFL Cup match against Wycombe was the fiftieth for Emery at the helm of Aston Villa. It took him 90 games to reach this figure, and this is the best in the history of the club from Birmingham.

The best previous result was held for more than 60 years. For example, Aston Villa's manager from 1958-1964, Joe Mercer, needed slightly more matches to reach 50 wins, namely 93 meetings.

Emery has been in charge of Aston Villa since November 2022. In addition to 50 victories, the ‘villians’ under his leadership have also drawn 16 times and lost 24 times.

Earlier, the team conquered another historic achievement, but already at the Champions League level.
