The night of Tuesday, May 14 was a joyous one for Villa.
Tottenham’s home defeat to Manchester City secured Champions League qualification and in what happened to be perfect timing, Unai Emery, his players, staff and several hundred supporters were together to celebrate the moment at the club’s end-of-season awards dinner.
“Monchi and I were at the party, thinking how to not spoil this beautiful year by having a points deduction,” explains Vidagany. Aston Villa President of Football Operations Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo âMonchiâ and director of football operations Damian Vidagany “Second, was to have a younger squad. Three to have a deeper squad. Why? Because we need to play more competitions. And the fourth is to be aligned with what Unai wants.”
Luiz, a key player for Emery’s Villa last season nearing the end of his contract, had been identified as a valuable asset who could probably be replaced more easily than other members of the squad.
