Spain midfielder, Denis Suarez has said Arsenal did not give Unai Emery the chance he needed to finish his work at the club.
The Spaniard is of the opinion that the Aston Villa boss would have done as much as Mikel Arteta with a weaker squad.
Speaking to The Athletic, Suarez said the sacking of Emery by Arsenal was disappointing, adding that the former Sevilla manager boss had pushed for his signing.
He believes that the Spaniard is a top coach and was treated unfairly at the Emirates.
He said, “It was disappointing for me but also for Unai. I know he was criticised for signing me because he requested me and rejected other options because he knew me.
“Unai is a top coach and I think he was treated very unfairly at Arsenal… People were not as patient with him as they had been with Wenger in certain moments.
“When you change a coach that has been there for so long, you look for a new identity. I think Unai was creating one at the club… Unai took them to a Europa League final and finished in the top five, but they didn’t let him finish the job.
“It is true that Arsenal is doing very well under Arteta but it could have been the same with Unai… Plus, if you compare Arteta’s team with the one Unai had at Arsenal, it’s night and day. I’m not sure a single player from Unai’s side would make it into the line-up today,” he added.
