Juventus coach Thiago Motta is not surprised that Unai Emery has enjoyed success at Aston Villa.

Motta’s Juve side face Villa at Villa Park in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Villa won their opening three matches in the competition, though a defeat to Club Brugge last time out saw them relinquish top spot.

They have also had a stuttering start to the Premier League campaign, but given Villa were candidates to be in a relegation fight when Emery took over a little over two years ago, the transformation into one of Europe’s best sides has been remarkable.

Motta, though, is not shocked.

“Like all the coaches I’ve had, I’ve tried to improve and learn,” said Motta, who worked under Emery at Paris Saint-Germain.

“Emery is a coach who has been at a high level for a long time. He’s showing his worth again at Aston Villa and doing it in a very difficult league.

“That’s also why we will go into the game with great humility and determined to give a great performance.”
