We have a title, we have a cover, and we (almost) have a book—I’m halfway through writing it!
#RiseOfTheVillans is an inside account of Unai Emery’s life, work, and what makes Aston Villa so special—both historically and right now.

The update of #RiseoftheVillans is in the shop soon. And the last chat was, of course, with Unai Emery. Exploring the Villa world has been one of the most enjoyable and eye opening exercise I have ever done

Monchi leaving means just that: Monchi is leaving. End of a cycle. Bodymoor Heath is an intense world, and a new Director of Football will arrive — chosen by Unai. By the way, you can find plenty about the relationship between Roberto Olabe and Unai on #RiseoftheVillans.

Really enjoyed spending an hour with Guillem Balague at Poddymoor Heath HQ this week to learn more about his new book, but also to chat about Unai Emery and Villa's poor start to the season.

With #RiseoftheVillans nominated for SBA Football Book of the Year, the #AVFC qualification for the UCL and the final in Istanbul in few days, it would be a shame if you have not read the book yet to understand even deeply why one of the top three managers in the PL does what he does so well.
