Emery's side qualified for Europe's elite club competition by winning the Europa League and by finishing fourth in the Premier League.
Villa have been growing from strength to strength under Emery, constantly pushing forward as they cause problems for the Premier League elite and top clubs from around Europe.
As the side aim to enter the Champions League, Emery opened up on the club’s objectives which are ambitious to say the least.
“My journey and process as a coach has been based on thinking about the context of each team at every moment and asking: ‘How far can we go? Where is our final barrier?’ And trying to break it.”
“Aston Villa, with our history, one European Cup, now one Europa League, what is our challenge?
“To win and be able to compete. I don’t know if we are going to be close to Arsenal or City, but in December we were there. We need more capacity and muscle to say ‘we are here’.
“At Aston Villa we are in a process of evolution with significant improvement. Every year I want to take steps to improve and the club is willing to do that. So I feel satisfied.”
Before the season begins, Villa of course have their Super Cup clash against European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain. This will be a major test for Emery as he aims to make history once more as ambitions continues to grow at the club.
