FORMER Arsenal manager Unai Emery was dating a Spanish bar owner at the same time as seeing a UK-based businesswoman, it has emerged.
Last week, Brit Sacha Wright told The Sun on Sunday that the football boss branded her a “white witch” — blaming her for his team’s poor form that got him the sack after she ended their two-year relationship.

But now we can reveal Gunners flop Unai, 48, fired by Arsenal last November, has also been dating bar owner Lucila Vila Segui in his native Spain.
A source close to her said tonight: “Lucila has travelled all over the world with Unai and, while they are not married, they have lived together like man and wife.
“They’ve been together more than ten years and she has been his partner ever since he split from his actual wife, Luisa.
“She is still with Unai now. It has caused great confusion because Sacha says she was with him until last month.”
In February last year, Lucila shared a picture on social media of her and dad-of-one Unai posing cheek to cheek with the caption: “Our Valentine’s Day celebrated early (for obvious reasons).”
Another picture online showed her kissing him.
And she said of Unai: “Winners never give up and those that give up never win.”
‘GREAT CONFUSION’
Lucila, who runs MarBlanc bar in Majorca, lived with Unai in Paris during his two-year tenure at French club PSG.
Last week, Londoner Sacha, 35, opened up for the first time about her two-year relationship with Unai. She revealed that he met her after most games and regularly flew her to Spain for romantic breaks.
But she added that he never introduced her as his girlfriend and would get upset if people tried to take their photo.
She dumped him over his lack of commitment in September last year, a short time before Arsenal went on the losing run of seven games that led to him being fired in November.
Sacha decided to take him back just before the New Year and it was then that he blamed her for getting him the sack and they split again last month.

Last week, she explained: “He told me I was a white witch as I had brought him so much bad luck.
“He said, ‘It was the day we broke up that we started to lose.’
“He told me he was so stressed out that his mind wasn’t in the right place after we separated.”
