Yeah, I don't understand why his name hasn't come up either? Maybe he's already signed a pre-contract with someone else, or he could just be having a break? He has worked almost continuously since he started in 1996. Maybe he's just sick of projects and wants a bit of instant glory? Who knows...
Press conference on now.
Maybe Jardim's lack of charisma counted against him, he seems a bit dull. Not that it should be too important if you can actually coach first and foremost.
Impressed by his fitness regimes too.

So he went to Atlanta to meet the Kroenkes?
So despite the media shit this wasn't a last minute appointment.
His English isn't that bad. I've heard a lot worse.
Just needs some practice to gain some fluency.
I like him so far.
His English is better than my Portuguese!
He thanks Wenger for his legacy :bow:
exPLAIN :haha::haha:
1. Ivan has completely destroyed all ITK's and the media :haha:
2. It seems as if we strung Arteta along to take heat off Emery :haha: Ruthless Arsenal :bow:
3. It's clear he completely blew them away in his interview.
I'm excited. Am I allowed to show it? :unsure:
Journalists are fucking morons tbf.
Q: "How passionately did you fight for this job?"
A: "Not so much. Take it, leave it. Who cares?"
It will have given him a good place to start, but I would imagine that data was mostly about pinpointing and exploiting our weaknesses - I doubt PSG would have been cool with him then sitting down and working out a detailed plan for how he would go about improving our team and every individual player (and I doubt our entire squad's injury history would have relevant to our matches together either). He's still done a lot of work there, I reckon...
Ivan destroying Wenger without ever mentioning him.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis: "I am really delighted and excited to announce the new head coach of Arsenal football club and it is Unai Emery.
"I know that came as a bit of a surprise and perhaps one or two rewrites were necessary.
"But as I said at the beginning of the process - those who know, won't speak and those who speak, won't know.
Self sustaining model will continue.
Great news for Kroenke.
Don't know why they bother with the Q&A. The journos ask stupid questions and the answers are all politically scripted.
"Unai referred to Iwobi as ‘Shito’ in the Interview and that made the decision to appoint him a no-brainer."
- Ivan Gazidi
I have to say, I am starting to gain a fair bit of respect for Ivan.
He was left red faced after Wenger screwed him over, but it's clear that revenge has been swift and decisive but for all the right reasons and to the benefit of the club, squad and fans :bow:
You could tell he was trying so hard to speak coherent English. Fair play, seems intelligent enough and I’m sure the language won’t be much of an issue.
He also named dropped Sven and Raul. :bow:
I can’t believe we’ve actually transformed the structure of the club. This is all a bit surreal.
Now let’s hope this all translates on to the pitch...
Rwanda Forever
Emery: "In my career I'm very demanding, demanding of the players also. My idea is to be a protagonist for all the match. History here shows they love playing with possession of the ball. I like this & when you dont have possession, I want a squad very, very intense in pressing"
Ozil :rose:
Waited years for us to get with the times and implement a pressing game.
It's probably going to take at least 2-3 seasons to come to fruition though. You need to weed out the weak links first.
Well now that we've got Ozil signed up we can at least recoup a fee for him when we inevitably have to sell him.
