He has raised the team to 2nd place. The EPL named the best coach of December

The English Premier League has named the best manager for the past month, and the award goes to Aston Villa's head coach, Unai Emery.

In the voting, the Spaniard surpassed David Moyes (West Ham), Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool), and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth).

In December, Aston Villa secured victories against Manchester City (1:0), Arsenal (1:0), Brentford (2:1), Burnley (3:2), drew with Sheffield United (1:1), Bournemouth (2:2), and suffered a defeat to Manchester United (2:3).

As a result of their strong performances in December, Aston Villa climbed to the 2nd position in the English Premier League. They are only three points behind the league leaders, Liverpool.

It is worth recalling that Dominic Solanke, Bournemouth's top scorer, is recognised as the best player of December in the Premier League.
