Unai Emery arrived at Aston Villa in October 2022 with a damaged reputation in English football following an unsuccessful stint at Arsenal. However, it didn't take him long to show fans that his time at the Emirates Stadium was the exception rather than the rule.
Emery has transformed Aston Villa from relegation candidates to European football regulars, with the Villains qualifying for Europe in each of the Spaniard's three seasons in charge.
As a result, the Villa faithful absolutely adore the Spaniard and sing his name at Villa Park, which he has turned into a fortress, on a weekly basis.
For all the key information on this Aston Villa chant, including the lyrics, we have you covered below.
Unai Emery chant, lyrics and tune
The Unai Emery chant is sung to quite a common football chant tune (see video below). The lyrics are as follows:

Unai Emery's Claret and Blue Army,
Unai Emery's Claret and Blue Army
Unai Emery chant background
The Unai Emery chant isn't a completely new one for the former Villarreal manager, but rather one that all Aston Villa managers receive when they are at the club.
It's a way of the Villa Park faithful showing the men in charge that they have the full backing of supporters, but it has to be said that the Emery version is sung louder and prouder than any of the other recent versions.
Interestingly, it is also similar to the chant that Arsenal fans used to sing for Emery when he was in charge at the Emirates Stadium. The only difference being that the words Claret and Blue were Red and White.

FGG says: Par for the course
This Unai Emery chant is the minimum that the Spaniard deserves, given the job that he has done at Aston Villa since coming through the doors to simply rescue them from relegation. There is even an argument that he is worthy of something a little more imaginative, but perhaps some silverware is needed first.
