Unai Emery has been sacked by Arsenal after 18 months in the job.

Axar.az reports citing that the Spaniard started well after replacing Arsene Wenger as a manager in the summer of 2018 but the Gunners have struggled since and Emery has lost his job following an appalling recent run of results.

He has presided over just four Premier League wins this season and the end came after a dismal 2-1 defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, after which the team was booed off by fans.

But he was unable to repeat that success at the Emirates Stadium and was under increasing pressure from frustrated supporters.

In a statement, Arsenal said the decision to replace Emery had been “taken due to results and performances not being at the level required”.

Arsenal is without a Premier League win since 6 October and is currently eight points adrift of the top four.
