Arsenal hero Robert Pires has backed Unai Emery to lift the club out of their current form slump.
Emery is under pressure to keep his job after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Southampton at home made it six games without a win for the Gunners.
But Pires still believes Emery is the right man to lead the club forward.
"Everybody knows at Arsenal, even Unai Emery, that they are in big trouble," Pires told Omnisport, speaking as part of the UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour driven by Nissan.
"But [Emery] is a competitor, he knows the high level. He was a great manager with Sevilla, with Paris Saint-Germain, but the situation is not so good.
"He is a good manager, I think he will make a success with Arsenal. I hope for him anyway. The situation isn't so good, but him and the players need to find the solution."
