Several Arsenal players posted farewell messages for former head coach Unai Emery, who was sacked on Friday morning after a run of disappointing fixtures, wherein the club could register only one win in nine matches. In a statement, the club said that they thanked the Spaniard and his staff for his services. However, they also said that the decision was because the performances and the results were not up to the level they required.
Emery also released a statement on Thursday evening, where he said that it was an honour to be the head coach of Arsenal. He thanked the fans, the club and the staff. He ended the letter with his best wishes for the club's future.
