Arsene Wenger Praises 'Excellent Job' Done by Arsenal Successor Unai Emery

Arsene Wenger has praised Unai Emery's "excellent job" since succeeding him as Arsenal manager in the summer and said he's happy the club didn't require a complete rebuild after his departure.

Wenger stepped down as Arsenal manager in May after 22 years at the club, after which it was feared they could suffer in the transition. However, Wenger told beIN Sports (h/t Evening Standard's James Benge) "the team is in good hands" with Emery:

"I think Emery is doing an excellent job. With the recruits he has brought in, it has brought a form of defensive stability, and so I think everything is going well.
