, Aston Villa is a club with a rich history and tradition in English football. I am very proud to be the head coach. After my conversation with the board, I learned of his ambitious plans for the club and I look forward to the opportunity to help him. I would also like to thank all the members and Glasgow Rangers for giving me the opportunity to run such a prestigious club. Helped to achieve 55th title. There will always be a special place for him in my heart. Want to wish players, staff and fans the best of future? Gerad said in an interview with Aston Villa’s official website.

Prior to his return to English football, Gerrard was at the helm of Glasgow Rangers in Scotland, the club he played for three seasons. In Scottish football he managed to grow into a coach so that he could get a new job in England.

Gerrard’s new challenge will be to try to pull Aston Villa out of the final positions of the Premier League. The team is in a bad phase and is only 16th in the tournament with 10 points. The advantage for first team Burnley in the relegation zone is just two points. Gerrard’s first match is on 20 November for the 12th round of the Premier League against Brighton at home.
