Unai Emery told his ex-girlfriend she was a ‘white witch’ – and blamed her for his failure at Arsenal.
The Spaniard was in charge of the Gunners for 18 months but was dismissed last November and replaced by Mikel Arteta.
And his former lover Sacha Wright, 13 years Emery’s junior at 35, has opened up on their relationship.
Ms. Wright revealed they split last September before she took Emery back in December, after he had been sacked
“It was then that he blamed me for getting him the sack,” she told the Sun on Sunday. “He told me I was a white witch as I had brought him so much bad luck.
” He said, ‘It was the day we broke up that we started to lose’.
” He told me he was so stressed out that his mind wasn’t in the right place after we separated.”
” flew out to meet him in San Sebastian just before New Year’s Eve and it was then that he blamed me for Arsenal losing.
“I trusted Unai and really believed we would get married and have kids together one day.
“I thought he was a gentleman and a real family man. But in the end I realised he was not ready for a serious relationship.”
Emery’s ex also gave a revealing insight into the former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss’ obsession with the beautiful game.
“We would meet up after most games and sometimes during the week too,” she added. “If the team had not been playing well he would tell me, ‘I’m having a tough time. It’s very stressful at the moment’.
“He was always watching football and checking the results.
“He would even lie in bed with one game on his computer and another one on his tablet. This would be in the morning and also right before we went to sleep.
“It was bit annoying but it was his routine and I accepted it.”Unai Emery told his ex-girlfriend she was a ‘white witch’ – and blamed her for his failure at Arsenal.The Spaniard was in charge of the Gunners for 18 months but was dismissed last November and replaced by Mikel Arteta.
Father-of-one Unai met Ms Wright in 2018, shortly after succeeding Arsene Wenger. The pair would regularly meet at the star-studded Gaucho steak restaurant in Hampstead, North West London, where they would drink Laurent Perrier champagne until 1am.
From there, the relationship blossomed, with the pair meeting after games and during the week, while Emery would whisk Ms Wright away on holiday during rare time off.
