Unai Emery is remaining defiant as rumours regarding his future as Arsenal head coach rumble on.
A 1-1 draw against Vitoria in the Europa League was hardly the ideal result for the already under pressure Spanish tactician.
Despite taking the lead through Shkodran Mustafi, the Gunners once again failed to hold on to a lead as they conceded late on and perhaps were fortunate not to have lost the game.
Not only was it a poor result, but the performance was not inspiring either.
But does Emery fear for his job?
Well, there has been talk of Jose Mourinho replacing him at the Emirates Stadium in the near future and the latest rumour is that the ex-Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid boss is in talks with the club's chief.
This rumour was brought up during Emery's post-Vitoria press conference.
And he had a defiant four-word response.
"I am the coach," he told reporters.
According to The Times, Arsenal have begun preparing the ground for a change of management, with 'fractures' appearing between Unai Emery and members of the playing squad.
The report claims Arsenal are looking for a manager with strong knowledge of the Premier League who can bring an identity to a squad who were reassembled at significant expense in the summer window.
And that they are considering a move for Mourinho who dined with head of football Raul Sanllehi last week.
However, football.london understands Sanllehi did not have dinner with Mourinho and has not spoken to the former Chelsea manager in years.
