PARIS (AP) Unai Emery, who guided Spanish club Sevilla to its third straight Europa League title last month, has been named as the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain.
The French champion said in a statement Tuesday that Emery has signed a two-year deal, with the option for an extra year.
The 44-year-old Spaniard replaces Laurent Blanc at PSG.
Blanc was fired on Monday, only months after he signed a new two-year contract.
