Arsenal suffered an embarrassing defeat in the Premier League as they went down 2-0 to Leicester City and now the Gunners fans are after the head of Unai Emery.
Unai Emery has clearly failed to bring back the glory days at the club and most pundits feel that Arsenal are now worse off than they were under the reign of Arsene Wenger.
Right now the Gunners are sixth on the league table eight points adrift the final Champions League spot and even Sheffield United find themselves above the Gunners right now.
The international break has now kicked off and after the break, Arsenal will take on Southampton FC with multiple rumours claiming that Emery will not be in charge of the club when the players return from the international break.
Most the fans will surely be happy with the prospect of bringing in a new manager but according to prominent journalist David Ornstein, Unai Emery is not likely to be sacked any time soon.
Ornstein wrote for The Athletic: “The dissatisfaction among Arsenal supporters towards Unai Emery appears to have peaked following Saturday’s defeat at Leicester City, which confirmed their worst start to a top-flight season since 1982-83.
“The Gunners already find themselves eight points behind the Champions League places and having statistically — and many would argue stylistically — regressed since Arsene Wenger left in 2018, fans are seemingly unified in the view that after 18 months as head coach, Emery should be sacked.
“He is now the favourite with most bookmakers to become the Premier League’s next managerial casualty and speculation is already rife about who might succeed the Spaniard.
“However, The Athletic has been informed by senior sources that Arsenal’s hierarchy remain “100 per cent” behind Emery and still plan to wait until the summer before making a decision on his future.”
Earlier reports had claimed that Unai Emery had until Christmas to get things sorted but after losing to Leicester City, there were rumours that the Spaniard would be shown the door this week itself.
But Ornstein is clearly a very reliable source when it comes to news about Arsenal and if he feels that the club will back Unai Emery till the end of the season, then surely there must be some truth in that.
