Arsenal's Unai Emery: No issue with Ivan Gazidis exit

Unai Emery is convinced Ivan Gazidis has left Arsenal in great hands after it was announced the club's chief executive is set to take up a position at AC Milan. Following significant speculation, it was finally confirmed on Tuesday that Gazidis' time at Arsenal is to come to an end in October after striking a deal with Milan's owners, Elliott Management. Arsenal revealed that Gazidis' exit will result in restructuring of its hierarchy, with Raul Sanllehi's position of head of football relations becoming head of football and Vinai Venkatesham – formerly chief commercial officer – now managing director. "The first three months with Ivan were very important for me because he's a big person, and a professional person too," Emery told reporters in his news conference, ahead of the Europa League clash with Vorskla.
