Liverpool F.C. legend Steven Gerrard has been appointed the new Head Coach of Aston Villa.
The Birmingham side announced the news on social media this morning.
After playing for Liverpool 710 times, winning nine trophies and spending a season at LA Galaxy in 2015, Gerrard retired from playing football in 2016.
Since 2018 Gerrard has been the Manager of Scottish Premiership side Rangers, who he guided to the league title for the first time in 10 years last season.
Steven Gerrard said: “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 Nassef, Wes 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.
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everybody associated with Glasgow Rangers for giving me the opportunity to manage such an iconic football club. Helping them secure a record-breaking 55th league title will always hold a special place in my heart. I would like to wish the players, staff and supporters the very best for the future.”
