Only 2 wins this season
Aston Villa reacted after losing 3-0 to Fulham FC and sacked coach Steven Gerrard. The Premier League club initially only confirmed the separation from the 42-year-old on Friday night in a short statement. The “Villans” slipped further down the table to 17th place, and the team has only won two games so far this season.

“We thank Steven for his hard work and commitment and wish him all the best for the future,” the club said. Gerrard had taken over the side from Dean Smith around 11 months ago when Villa were 16th. Since then he has averaged 1.18 points from 40 games and finished 14th last season. With just seven goals scored, they have the second-lowest goal tally in the league, along with bottom Nottingham and after Wolverhampton.
Aston Villa Football Club can confirm that Head Coach Steven Gerrard has left the club with immediate effect.
