LONDON — Arsenal fired Unai Emery on Friday following its worst run of form in 27 years, and 18 months after the Spaniard succeeded Arsene Wenger as manager of the Premier League club.
The north London team lost to Eintracht Frankfurt 2–1 in the Europa League on Thursday in front of a sparse and disgruntled crowd at Emirates Stadium. The loss extended Arsenal’s winless run to seven matches—the club's worst streak since 1992.
In the Premier League, Arsenal has dropped to eighth place.
"The decision has been taken due to results and performances not being at the level required," Arsenal said in a statement.
