On 20 October, Steven Gerrard was sacked after less than a year in charge and a 32.5% win ratio as well as a poor start to the Premier League season, where he won just two out of 11 Premier League games. He also had Villa just outside the relegation zone on goals scored in 17th. Four days later, Unai Emery was appointed as manager from Villarreal.[3][4]

After the arrival of Emery, Villa's fortunes took a turn for the better, with the club winning 15 and taking 49 points from their last 25 games, including a five-match winning run as the club finished in 7th place, their highest position in the English League system since 2009-10, gaining them a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round, invoking the club's first continental participation since the 2010-11 season. This marked Villa's longest top-flight winning run since 1998.

Pre and mid-season friendlies

In April 2022, Aston Villa announced they would travel to Australia on a pre-season tour to compete in the Queensland Champions Cup, where they faced Leeds United and Brisbane Roar.[77] They also competed in ICON Festival of Football during the stay in Australia where they would come up against Manchester United.[78] On 24 May 2022, Aston Villa announced two further friendlies away at Rennes and the traditional friendly at Walsall.[79] On 10 June, local non-league club Chasetown announced that they would be having a pre-season friendly against a Villa XI.[80] Later friendlies against Leamington and Hednesford Town were announced for those players that did not make the journey to Australia.[81]

On 11 November 2022, Aston Villa announced a friendly had been organised with Villarreal on 15 December, in order to help both teams to prepare for the resumption of the league after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[82] A "competitive first-team friendly" was also organised between Aston Villa and Cardiff City to help those players who were not going to the World Cup retain their fitness. However, the main purpose of this match was to act as a memorial match for Peter Whittingham, who died in 2020 at the age of 35, and who played for both teams. Proceeds from ticket sales for the match were to be donated to charities chosen by Whittingham's family.[83] On 24 November, Villa announced one more friendly, in the United Arab Emirates, against Chelsea for the Al Wahda FC Challenge Cup.[84] On 1 December, Villa announced a further UAE friendly, this one a behind-closed-doors match against Brighton & Hove Albion.[85]
