Former Borussia Dortmund forward Alexander Frei has revealed his surprise at not seeing Sevilla coach Unai Emery managing a big club such as Manchester United or Chelsea.
The former Real Sociedad midfielder has earned massive plaudits for his excellent work at Sevilla, where he led the side to two Europa League trophies in a row in the last couple of seasons.
Emery’s Sevilla have the opportunity to create history tonight when then take on Liverpool in the final of the competition, by becoming the first team to win the Europa League three times on the bounce.
Given his success in Europe with Sevilla, Frei is surprised that the Spaniard’s name doesn’t come up for discussion when some top clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea are looking for new managers.
The former BVB man told Tutto Mercato: “Unai for me is one of the best in Europe.

Antonio Conte will take over the reins at Chelsea this summer and while Manchester United are yet undecided, it has been widely speculated that Jose Mourinho will replace Louis van Gaal at the end of the season.
A third Europa League could make some of the big clubs of Europe take notice of Emery’s smart work in Seville.
