NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO is now odds-on to become new Arsenal boss after another Gunners horror show.
Unai Emery watched his Gunners side take the lead at home to Frankfurt in the Europa League, but two second-half strikes from Daichi Kamada turned the game on its head.

Emery is odds on to get the boot next in the Premier League, following Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking from Tottenham last week.
But the Argentine has fallen down to 8/1 to become the next Gunners manager, as Espirito Santo comes in at 4/5 with Ladbrokes.
Next on the list is former Arsenal legend Fredrik Ljungberg, who is priced up at a generous 11/2 following the Frankfurt farce.
Meanwhile, ex-Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta drops to third at 7/1 – having previously been the favourite.
Further down the list is Rafael Benitez, Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe (16/1) and current Nice manager Patrick Vieira (20/1) among the outsiders.
Niko Kovac, who was recently sacked by Bayern Munich, is on the shortlist at 25/1 – the same price as Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers, as he continues to shine with the Foxes.
Arsenal fans at this stage would take almost anyone, with supporters booing their team from the field against the Bundesliga side and others holding up ‘Emery Out’ signs.
One fuming fan tweeted: “Dear @Arsenal, how many retweets to get #EmeryOut by Monday morning?”
Another added: “I’ve seen Arsenal sign Bendtner, Andre Santos, Gervinho, Chamakh, Senderos, Sanogo, Gazidis as chief executive and still the the worst recruitment ever by Arsenal is Unai Emery. #EmeryOut.”
Boos ran out around the Emirates after the final whistle and Emery is now favourite to be the next manager to lose his job in the Premier League – after Everton’s Marco Silva and Manuel Pellegrini of West Ham.
