Negotiations between Gerrard and Aston Villa continued for a few weeks, but the deal finally became official. Initially, according to the British press, the coach signed a contract until June 2024. However, the information was not officially confirmed by Aston Villa.

? Aston Villa is a club with a rich history and tradition in English football. I am very proud to be the technical director. After my conversations with the board of directors, I learned of their ambitious plans for the club and I am looking forward to an opportunity to help them. I would also like to express my thanks to all the members and the Glasgow Ranger for giving me the opportunity to run such an iconic club. I helped win the 55th title. They will always have a special place in my heart. Do you want to wish players, staff and fans the best possible future? Gerrad said in an interview with the official Aston Villa website.

Prior to his return to English football, Gerrard was in Scotland at the helm of Glasgow Rangers, the club he managed for three seasons. In Scottish football, he managed to develop as a coach to have the opportunity to take up a new job in England.

Gerrard’s new challenge will be to try to knock Aston Villa out of the bottom of the Premier League. The team is in a bad stage and occupies only 16th place in the championship with 10 points added. Burnley’s advantage, the first team in the relegation zone, is only two points. Gerrard’s first match should take place on November 20, against Brighton, at home, in the 12th round of the Premier League.
