Aston Villa has named Steven Gerrard as their new coach, the club announced today. He replaces Dean Smith, who was fired on Sunday after a five-game losing streak.
Steven Gerrard was contacted by the Aston Villa board on Monday. It was difficult for Steve to leave Rangers because he has a great deal of respect for the club, its fans, and its players.
He agreed to take part in a long-term project with Aston Villa. In addition, he will be involved in the decision-making process for new signings, according to the club.
Gerrard paid Rangers £2.5 million to get the job. Only two points separate Aston Villa from relegation. He'll be in charge of getting the club out of relegation trouble and up the division.
