Recently installed Aston Villa boss Unai Emery admits that he has learned from his failures at Arsenal.

The Spaniard had an unsuccessful 18-month spell at the Emirates Stadium club, eventually losing his job and being replaced by Mikel Arteta.

Gunners supporters are far happier with the team that Arteta has assembled since then.

"I am better prepared to face a new challenge in the Premier," Emery told MARCA.

"I already have a year and four months of experience in this League.

"I think my first year at Arsenal was nice. It was broken by some things that I have identified that I am now going to try to avoid. I have always had an internal goal of having a new opportunity and coming back better prepared and I think that at Villarreal I have acquired a continuity that has led to them calling me back from England.

"It's more of a challenge than a rematch. I had to accept it as something very professional."
