Jamie Carragher: You can make an argument that Unai Emery is the third best manager in this Premier League. If you back over the last 12 months since he came in at Villa, if you are talking about Man Utd, Aston Villa are a better coached team than United. There is no doubt about that.
He’s certainly the third most decorated manager in the league and this season he’s probably got the most over performing team so far now Spurs have hit their bump.
That being said, his record at a big club in the premier league wasn’t great. Decent night watchman job for one season, marred by bad decisions that didn’t pay off, followed by completely losing the dressing room and getting fired by a club who are not known for pulling the trigger on managers quickly.
Basically he’s doing really well with Villa and has all the credentials to be considered a top manager, but the most important factor would be that no club in the top 3 would take him right now.
