After Aston Villa’s thrilling 3-2 victory over RB Salzburg, manager Unai Emery was questioned about ongoing speculation linking him to the Real Madrid coaching position.
The Spanish club is reportedly in search of a new manager after Alvaro Arbeloa’s challenging tenure, which began just this month following Xabi Alonso’s departure. Arbeloa’s reign has seen two losses already, including defeats to Albacete and Benfica.
Spanish media outlets name Emery as a leading candidate for the coveted Real Madrid job, alongside Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp.

When pressed about the rumors after the match, Emery dismissed the topic with a simple, “Nothing, nothing to say about it,” making it clear that he remains focused on his current role at Villa.
Emery committed to Aston Villa earlier this year, signing a five-year contract in May 2024 following the club’s qualification for the Champions League. The manager’s ambition for the season includes not only solidifying Villa’s presence in Europe’s elite competitions but also pursuing Europa League success.
