The Gunners have gone five games without a win in all competitions and now sit eight points adrift of the top four following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Leicester City.
Emery brushed off questions about his future following Saturday’s defeat at Leicester and he has now received the public backing of Arsenal’s head of football Raul Sanllehi and managing director Vinai Venkatesham.
During a staff event at Arsenal on Monday - which was attended by 200 colleagues from across the club - Sanllehi and Venkatesham sent out a clear message a support for Emery, although they admitted that results needed to improve if the Gunners are to secure the top four finish they crave.
“We are as disappointed as everyone else with both our results and performances at this stage of the season,” said Sanllehi and Venkatesham. We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect.
“Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season, and we firmly believe Unai is the right man for the job, together with the backroom team we have in place. We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will.
“We never take our fantastic support for granted. We hope we can all stick together and get behind the team in this challenging period, as together we are stronger.”
