Emery, 46, left Paris St Germain at the end of the season having won the domestic treble and will replace Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard emerged as the shock favorite earlier this week after it had seemed former Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta was in line to land the job.<\/p>\n
Instead the role has gone to Emery, who won three successive Europa League titles with Sevilla before moving to PSG in 2016.<\/p>\n
Wenger departed at the end of the season following a 22-year reign, with the club finishing sixth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Emery, who will be presented to the media at a press conference later on Wednesday, said: \u201cI am thrilled to be joining one of the great clubs in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cArsenal is known and loved throughout the world for its style of play, its commitment to young players, the fantastic stadium, the way the club is run.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited to be given the responsibility to start this important new chapter in Arsenal\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emery continued on the club\u2019s official website: \u201cI have met (majority owner) Stan and Josh Kroenke and it\u2019s clear they have great ambitions for the club and are committed to bringing future success.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited about what we can do together and I look forward to giving everyone who loves Arsenal some special moments and memories.\u201d<\/p>\n
