Emery is back in La Liga Santander with Villarreal and, though a well-known name around the world, here are five things you might not know about the Basque tactician.

1. Unai Emery's grandfather conceded the first ever La Liga goal
La Liga was launched way back in 1929, with the inaugural match being RCD Espanyol vs Real Unión Irún on February 10th. Remarkably, the Irun goalkeeper that day was a certain Antonio Emery, Unai’s grandfather. Unfortunately for Antonio, he went down in history as the man who conceded the first ever LaLiga goal to Pitus Prat as Espanyol won 3-2. Unai’s father – and Antonio’s son – Juan Emery, also played as a goalkeeper for Real Unión Irún, amongst other clubs.
