Emery's depth of knowledge impressed Arsenal's Gazidis
The former PSG boss' deep knowledge of the Gunners' younger players was one of the reasons for his appointment, says the club's chief executive
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis says the research Unai Emery had done on the club's young talent was one of the reasons for his appointment as the club's new head coach.
Emery replaces Arsene Wenger, whose near 22-year stay at the club ended with a second successive finish outside the Premier League's top four.
The former Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla coach beat out competition from seven other shortlisted candidates to earn the chance to take over from the departed Frenchman.
