The new coach of Hondarribia will be presented next Monday at the Estadio de la Ceramica, in a press conference in the preference room of the stadium.
The signing was made at the end of February, just before the pandemic, and when the Castellon team was going through the worst moment of the season, which is now confirmed, despite having achieved the goal of European places and the fifth place in the standings with Javi Calleja.
The club decided to make a change in its project after three seasons with Javier Calleja at the helm, with the idea of making a more forceful bet like the arrival of a coach like Unai Emery.
The Basque coach is the coach who arrives at the yellow team with a better baggage and sports curriculum, improving that of Manuel Pellegrini, Ernesto Valverde or Marcelino García Toral upon his arrival at the club.
Emery arrives at a team that seeks to make the definitive leap, so he trusts his experience to be able to approach titles and stay in the top positions of the league table.
It should be noted that after his spells at UD Almería, Valencia CF and Sevilla FC, Emery has a total of 323 matches in La Liga, with a record of 154 wins, 74 draws, and a total of 95 defeats. To these figures, he adds a total of 51 matches in the Premier League with Arsenal, or 76 matches in Ligue One with PSG.
Thus, Emery has 450 matches in top leagues and has a great European experience, with a total of 131 matches, which are distributed in 36 Champions League matches and 96 Europa League and UEFA matches.
In addition, the new coach of Villarreal has a record of one French League, three Europa Leagues, two French Super Cups, and two French Cups.
