Unai Emery Etxegoien (Spanish pronunciation: [uˈnai ˈemeɾi et͡ʃeˈɣoʝen]; born 3 November 1971) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left midfielder, and the current manager of French club Paris Saint-Germain FC.
He competed almost exclusively in Segunda División, amassing totals of 215 matches and nine goals during seven seasons. He subsequently embarked on a managerial career, spending several years in La Liga with Valencia and leading the team to three third-place finishes.
In 2013, Emery signed with Sevilla, taking the club to three consecutive Europa League victories before leaving for Paris Saint-Germain.
Born in Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Emery was a youth graduate of Real Sociedad, but never really broke into the first team (aged 24 he appeared in five La Liga games, scoring against Albacete Balompié in an 8–1 home win). After that, he resumed his career mostly in Segunda División.
Emery retired with Lorca Deportiva CF at the age of 32, after one season in Segunda División B.
As he was seriously injured in the knee while at Lorca in the 2004–05 season, Emery was offered the vacant manager position by the club president, and immediately helped it achieve promotion to the second division for the first time in its history, while beating top level side Málaga CF in the Copa del Rey. In his second season, the Murcians' first ever in the second level, the team finished fifth with 69 points, only five points off promotion to the top flight. They suffered relegation the following campaign, after the manager's departure.
