Steven Gerrard has spoken for the first time since he was sacked by Premier League strugglers Aston Villa on Thursday night.
Gerrard was dismissed with Villa 17th in the table, sitting outside of the relegation zone on goal difference. The West Midlands club won just two of their first 11 Premier League fixtures this term, with a 3-0 defeat at Fulham proving to be the final straw for Gerrard.
The Liverpool legend was only appointed by Villa 11 months ago after leading Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title. Gerrard was tasked with leading Villa into Europe, but results started to slip at the back end of last season and he couldn't turn things around.
