The manager of Aston Villa, Unai Emery signed a new five-year deal with the Premier League side earlier today, May 27, 2024.
Unai Emery put pen to paper to extend his contract with the club after helping them to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. His initial contract with the side had three years left to expire.
Recall that Emery became the coach of Aston Villa in October 2022 when the side were in the 17th spot. He pushed them to qualify for the Europa Conference League before the season ended.
In the 2023-2024 season, the 52-year-old Spaniard took the side to the next stage by qualifying the club for their first UEFA Champions League campaign.
Aston Villa finished fourth in the league table with 68 points in 38 games, after recording 10 defeats, 8 draws, and 20 wins.
With Unai Emery’s five-year new deal, which will keep him at the club until June 30, 2029, next season will come with a heightened expectation from the club’s management and fans.
After signing the new deal, Emery said: “I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club.
“There’s a great chemistry in Aston Villa. And the element of the fans’ support also makes the difference to feel at home.
“We are really excited to continue this journey with no limits to our dreams.”
Aston Villa Chairman Nassef Sawiris said: “We are building something special here at Aston Villa with Unai at its core and we are delighted that he has signed a new deal with the club until 2029.
“As we move into our historic, 150th anniversary year, there is a lot to look forward to with Unai at the helm.”

Flying under the radar in your spare change this month is something brand new, and it might be the most colourful $2 coin you'll ever see.</p><p>On September 4, the Mint unveiled its commemorative toonie honouring Daphne Odjig, one of the most influential Indigenous artists of the 20th century. Limited to three million coins, the new design has already started circulating, so you could spot one in your wallet any day now.</p> <h2>Who is Daphne Odjig?</h2> <p>Born in Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory on Manitoulin Island, Odjig grew up surrounded by storytelling and carving traditions passed down by her grandfather, Jonas Odjig. She went on to become a groundbreaking painter, illustrator, and activist who helped redefine how Indigenous art was seen in Canada and around the world.</p><p>Over a career that spanned more than five decades, Odjig created everything from minimalist line sketches to massive, vividly coloured paintings reflecting First Nations culture and history. She also co-founded Professional Native Indian Artists Inc., alongside fellow art legends like Norval Morrisseau and Alex Janvier, pushing for recognition, funding, and space in major galleries.</p><p>Odjig is the first woman visual artist to have her work honoured on a commemorative circulation coin.</p> <h2>What the coin looks like</h2><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOL0pHYkZic/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">

At the centre is a female figure holding a drum, surrounded by bold shapes and rich colour. On the outer rim, the Mint engraved Odjig's stylized drawing of a fisher (the anglicized version of her family name), which also appeared in her 1978 work <em>The Indian in Transition</em>.</p><p>The obverse shows King Charles III, in his first year on Canadian coinage.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"> <img alt="" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="058918664abc35313d675e55acadd23e" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="6c0bd" loading="lazy" src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/the-flipside-of-the-u00a0daphne-odjig-2-commemorative-circulation-coin.png?id=61555594&width=980"/> <small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">The flipside of the Daphne Odjig $2 commemorative circulation coin.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit..."><a href="https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/royal-canadian-mint-celebrates-the-life-and-art-of-daphne-odjig-on-a-new-2-commemorative-circulation-coin-856263362.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Royal Canadian Mint</a></small></p><p>Of the three million coins entering circulation, two million are colourized, while one million are in a traditional uncoloured finish.</p> <h2>How to get one</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"> <img alt="Daphne Odjig $2 commemorative circulation coin." class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="5be4730270fde30904b97f9b0ec9ca07" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="6ae88" loading="lazy" src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/daphne-odjig-2-commemorative-circulation-coin.webp?id=61555581&width=980"/> <small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption...">Daphne Odjig $2 commemorative circulation coin.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit..."><a href="https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/royal-canadian-mint-celebrates-the-life-and-art-of-daphne-odjig-on-a-new-2-commemorative-circulation-coin-856263362.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Royal Canadian Mint</a></small></p> <p>You won't need to buy anything special to get your hands on the Odjig toonie.
