Paris Saint-Germain confirm Unai Emery as new manager

Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed former Sevilla boss Unai Emery as the club's new manager.

The 44-year-old, who stepped down from his role at Sevilla having guided them to an unprecedented third consecutive Europa League success, has signed a two-year deal at the Parc des Princes.

The Spaniard replaces Laurent Blanc, who left the club on Monday following a trophy-laden three-year spell in the French capital.

"It is an honour for me to accept the challenge of coaching PSG this coming season," Emery wrote on Twitter.
