The Spaniard’s existing deal still had two years to run but he has agreed terms for an additional 12 months.
ASTON VILLA MANAGER Unai Emery has committed to the club until at least 2027 after his contract was extended.
Advertisement Villa are also keen to sit down with the 52-year-old in the summer and discuss a new longer-term contract. They are also in the semi-final of the Europa Conference League, where they play Olympiacos, and are the favourites to win the tournament which would represent a first European trophy since 1982.
After Emery guided them to a seventh-placed finish last season, Villa have kicked on this term and are in pole position to finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League for the first time.
