"Unai Emery became the quickest of the three Aston Villa managers to have reached 100 victories when his side defeated Lille in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie. The Spaniard, who is aiming to win the competition for a record-extending fifth time, has made Villa a force at home and in Europe since being appointed in October 2022."
"His tally of 100 wins from 181 games eclipses the most successful manager in the club's history - Ron Saunders, who reached the century mark at the end 1977-78, his fourth season in charge. Saunders, who led the Villans out of the old second division, twice won the League Cup, delivered the club's first top-flight title for 71 years in 1980-81."
"The 54-year-old also has the best win ratio in the club's history at 55.2% and is one of only three Premier League managers to triumph 100 times during the time he has been at Villa Park. The other two above him in that regard are his compatriots Pep Guardiola (137) and Mikel Arteta (118)."
