After bringing glory to Rangers in the Scottish Premiership, Steven Gerrard is set to make his Premier League return by becoming the new manager of Aston Villa.
Aston Villa sacked former manager, Dean Smith, after sustaining 5 Premier League losses in a row. Villa now turns their attention toward former Liverpool captain, PL legend, and now Aston Villa manager, Steven Gerrard, with hopes of staying in the English Premier League. The club is currently trying to stay afloat in top-flight football—sitting at 16th at the moment—only 2 points above the relegation zone.
Gerrard has had a relatively good start to his managerial career. He joined Rangers back in 2018 and successfully brought glory to the club by securing its record-breaking 55th Scottish Premiership title—the most in the league's history.
Aside from his resume as a manager, he is known for being able to lead a team to success through trials and tribulations as a former player. Coming back down 3-0 against AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League Final will forever be one of his greatest feats and a testament to his leadership capabilities.
Gerrard notes that he is incredibly grateful and proud to be the new manager of Aston Villa and he is looking forward to helping the club reach its potential.
Via The Guardian:
“Aston Villa is a club with a rich history and tradition in English football and I am immensely proud to become its new head coach. In my conversations with [the owners] Nassef [Sawiris], Wes [Edens] and the rest of the board, it was apparent how ambitious their plans are for the club and I am looking forward to helping them achieve their aims.”
Aston Villa fans will surely be ecstatic over this news with new hopes of an exciting new manager at the helm. The world will have to wait and see if his greatness as a player can translate into managerial success in football's most competitive league.
