Watford Coach was Emery’s Key Accepting Arsenal

DBasia.news –  Arsenal coach Unai Emery revealed that Javi Gracia, the Watford coach, provided much insight into London and English football.

“When it is possible to train here (England), the first coach, the first person in the world of football that I contact is him (Gracia). I asked a few questions about football here, clubs, Arsenal. He recommended to me that I must come here,” Emery said.

“For example, we had dinner, their coaching staff and our coaching staff, one day at St. Albans in September. We talk about football here, English football and their experience.”

“Because they were here six months before us. It’s a good conversation about football because Javi Gracia is also a man who understands football well,” Unai Emery explained

More specifically, Emery also had a close relationship with Gracia’s assistant, Zigor Aranalde and Inigo Arteaga. This is also the reason why both parties advise each other.

“They are my friends, not only Javi Gracia. But also his assistant, Zygote and Inigo.”
