Steven Gerrard sacked as Aston Villa boss after less than 12 months in charge

Steven Gerrard has been sacked as Aston Villa manager after less than a year in charge at Villa Park.

The former Liverpool skipper leaves the Midlands outfit in 17th, with just two wins from their 10 Premier League games, the most recent of which being an away 3-0 drubbing to Fulham on Thursday night. Following the result, Aston Villa swiftly released a statement which read: "Aston Villa Football Club can confirm that Head Coach Steven Gerrard has left the club with immediate effect."

A club spokesman added: "We would like to thank Steven for his hard work and commitment and wish him well for the future."
