Steven Gerrard has been sacked by Aston Villa, who are now on the lookout for a new manager.
Gerrard was dismissed on Thursday night following Villa’s 3-0 thrashing by Fulham. Villa are 17th in the Premier League, just above the relegation zone, having won just two of their 10 matches this season. The 42-year-old lasted less than 12 months in the role after leaving Rangers to succeed Dean Smith.
Villa, who became the third Premier League side currently without a manager, face Brentford on Sunday. They have joined Wolves and Bournemouth in looking for a new boss, with owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens and chief executive Christian Purslow the men in charge of the search.
