Emery guided Villa to a sensational fourth-placed Premier League finish, securing them Champions League football for the first time in their history.

He had extended his deal until 2027 in April after holding talks with owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens and has further pledged his future to Villa Park with fresh terms likely to see him become one of the highest-paid managers in Europe.

‘I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club,’ Emery said. ‘Since I came to Villa with Wes and Nassef we found always the best environment and structure to develop a project with the highest ambition.

‘All the football structure with Monchi and Damian [Vidagany] and the owners, we share the same vision and same goals.

‘There’s a great chemistry in Aston Villa. And the element of the fans’ support also makes the difference to feel like home.

‘We are really excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams.’

Emery had replaced Steven Gerrard in the hot seat in October 2022 and propelled Villa from 17th to seventh – and into European football – during his first campaign.

Villa also reached the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League this season.
