ARSENAL manager Unai Emery was asked his change to his COAT – because of a kit clash.
In a football first, the Spaniard was rapped by the fourth official for his choice of attire.

Visitors Eintracht Frankfurt were kitted in all black for the game at the Emirates, while Emery was also wearing a black jacket.
But French fourth official Frank Schneider was not impressed and told Emery he had to make a change.
Luckily, the Gunners boss managed to find a grey coat in the kit bag.

Arsenal fans were very unforgiving after watching the under-pressure manager change attire.
Many made similar jokes about the boss’ prowess in the dugout after a shocking start to the season.
One fan summed up the general tone, writing: “Emery having to change his coat in case anyone mistakes him for a player.
“Come on, no-one can even mistake him for a manager.”
It’s not clear why Emery had to change, but Eintracht Frankfurt boss Adi Hutter was allowed to keep on his coat.
It was black.
And it’s not the first time an Arsenal manager has had coat-related trouble.
Arsene Wenger was famous for his jacket dramatics, famously struggling with his zips throughout his 22-year career in north London.
