In an emotional moment at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal star Mesut Ozil bids farewell to his head coach Unai Emery as he is substituted during the UEFA Europa League Semi-Final first leg match against Valencia on May 2, 2019. The German international, who has been a key player for the Gunners since joining the club in 2013, shared a heartfelt moment with Emery as he left the pitch, marking the end of an era for both the player and the coach. Ozil, who has made over 150 appearances for Arsenal and scored 23 goals, has been a subject of speculation regarding his future at the club due to his inconsistent form and limited playing time under Emery. The 30-year-old midfielder, who was once a fan favorite, has been sidelined from the first team in recent months, leading to rumors of a possible exit. Emery, who took over as Arsenal manager in May 2018, has had a tumultuous tenure with the club, failing to guide them to a top-four finish in the Premier League for the third consecutive season. The Spaniard's tactical approach and team selection have been criticized by fans, and Ozil's exclusion from the squad has been a point of contention. As Ozil walked off the pitch, he shared a warm embrace with Emery, acknowledging the support and guidance he had received from the coach during his time at Arsenal. The moment was a poignant reminder of the transient nature of football and the importance of cherishing every moment on the pitch. The second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Valencia is set to take place on May 9, and Arsenal fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Ozil will feature in the squad. Regardless of what the future holds for the midfielder and the coach, the emotional moment between Ozil and Emery is a memory that will be etched in the annals of Arsenal history.
