Unai Emery: Where the Famous ‘Good Ebening’ Phrase of New Aston Villa Boss Came From

• New Aston Villa boss Unai Emery became synonymous with the phrase 'Good Ebening' during his time at Arsenal
• Emery always started his press conferences with the phrase that he became nicknamed 'Good Ebening' in some quarters
• Emery led Arsenal to the Europa League final in 2019, where they lost to Chelsea in Baku

Unai Emery's return to the Premier League means that fans can look forward to more 'Good Ebening' press conferences from the head coach.

Emery was confirmed as Aston Villa's new boss, who will now take over from Steven Gerrard, who was sacked last week.

This will be the second time the Spanish tactician will be Premier League following his eventful stint at Arsenal in 2018. He served as Arsenal's head coach for 18 months before he was sacked after a run of disappointing results.

During his reign at Arsenal, Emery made a name for himself as he always hilariously started his press conferences with a 'Good Ebening' opener.

Emery was always on the receiving end due to his shaky pronunciation of Good Evening. It would be interesting to see if he will carry on with the 'Good Ebening' catchphrase in England.

His first matches will be against Manchester United in the Premier League and the League Cup.
