Aston Villa have announced the sacking of their first team head coach Steven Gerrard.
Recall that the information that the 42-year-old specialist is on the verge of retirement appeared at the beginning of last week. The reason for this is the unsatisfactory results that Aston Villa are showing this season.
The big defeat of Gerrard's team from Fulham (0:3) in yesterday's match of the 12th round of the English Championship overwhelmed the patience of the Aston Villa management, and the decision to dismiss the head coach was made almost immediately after this fight.
It should be noted that after 12 rounds of the Premier League, Aston Villa managed to score only 9 points and is fourth from the bottom in the standings.
According to media reports, the contenders for the position of head coach of Aston Villa are Mauricio Pochettino (currently without a club), Bo Svensson (Mainz) and Brendan Rodgers (Leicester).
