What is the secret to Valencia's new found form?

According to Joaquin, striker for Valencia, the reason that his team are currently out playing everyone and top of the league is because now they have a decent manager, Unai Emery.
Joaquin has slated their ex manager Ronald Koeman of Holland and said that 'fortunately, this year we have a manager.' He also commented that 'The changing room has changed a lot (new colour maybe?) and you can feel a different sensation. Now when you enter you forget about last year's problems.'
Emery, who was born in Hondarribia, has only managed Almeria and Lorca before but has made an profound impact with his new squad. But why had he been so successful? If you compare his experience to Ronald Koeman, who has helped manage the Dutch national side, and also won the Dutch league with PSV, and the Copa Del Rey with Valencia last year, you'd have thought that if he couldn't turn Valencia around then no one could.
But Koeman was sacked (even though they won the cup) in April last year after they were 15th and only two points of relegation.
Emery has certainly worked his magic and is doing something right. Can he keep it up though? I reckon he can, what do you think?
