Steven Gerrard appointed as the new Head Coach for Aston Villa in a three and half year deal. The former Liverpool midfielder and Rangers Head Coach, Steven Gerrard replaced Dean Smith after he was sacked last week after a run of five successive defeats.
Rangers FC agreed on a compensation of £3.25 to £4 millions on Steven Gerrard and his assistant Gary McAllister.
Steven Gerrard said, ” Aston Villa is a club with a rich history and tradition in English football and am immensely proud to be its new head coach”.
” In my conversation with Nassef, Wes and the rest of the Board, it was apparent how ambitious how their plans are for the club and I am looking forward to helping them achieve their aims”.
” I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everybody associated with Glasgow Rangers for giving me the opportunity to manage such an ionic football club”.
” Helping them secure a record-breaking 55th league title will always hold a special place in my heart. I would like to wish the players, staff and supporters the very best for the future”.
Gerrard had been able to take the Rangers Club through since 2018 and led the club taking the title for the Scottish Premiership last season.
As at now Aston Villa sits 16th in the Premier League table, for which they are two points above the relegation region after 11 games of their campaign.
