Al-Khelaifi praises Emery passion after PSG departure confirmed

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has praised Unai Emery's passion for football and commitment to the club after the coach's departure was confirmed.

Emery announced on Friday he will be leaving PSG at the end of the season, with former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel widely expected to be his successor in Paris.

"During his two years at the helm of our professional team, Unai Emery has demonstrated a constant commitment," Al-Khelaifi said via a club statement.

"His immense passion for football, his involvement in the work, have allowed the club to continue its roots among the elite of French and international football.

"I congratulate Unai for his investment in our project and I wish him, on behalf of the club, a complete success in the challenges that will await him."
