Having led Sevilla to three consecutive Europa league titles big things were expected of the Spaniard when he moved to PSG in 2016 as the Parisien side were looking for a coach that will finally help them conquer Europe.
With the announcement by PSG last month that Emery's contract won't be renewed; which brings up the question on how will he be remembered in Paris and what are his next steps. This is not the first time Emery will be experiencing disappointment having seen the sack for poor results in Spartak Moscow after lasting only six months before moving to Sevilla and rebuilding his career. With over €350m spent last summer with the signings of Neymar and Mbappe, PSG underachieved during his time at the club losing 5-2 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the round of 16 (this season) as well as becoming the first side to be eliminated in the knockout stage after having a 4-0 first leg win (losing 6-1 to Barcelona in the second leg).
This season, the Spainard has won three trophies already (French Ligue 1, French Cup and French Cup final) which has banished the memory of last seasons league loss to Monaco. Emery might not have done the magic in Paris but he will be leaving with his head held high considering his record in his final season despite coming short in Europe. It will be a great injustice to quickly forget how he led Almeria to the Spanish top flight as well as finishing a record eight in the league with the Andalusian side with a below average squad. As if that was not enough he moved to Valencia twice qualifying for the Champions League despite the sale of key men David Silva and David Villa. In Sevilla, Emery led them again to a record three consecutive Europa leagues . While people might feel he underachieved in Paris the record of previous managers Carlo Ancelotti and Laurent Blanc (two managers who also failed in Europe with PSG) should be taken into account. Emery might have failed in some aspects but he still remains a top manager who is highly rated.
