Aston Villa sack Dean Smith as coach

LONDON: Aston Villa Football Club announced on Sunday the dismissal of Dean Smith from the position of team manager. Smith, who brought back the Aston Villa in Premier League has paid the price for the disappointing levels presented by the team in this season and defeat in the last five games. The game Aston Villa lost to Southampton 0-1 on Friday was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Smith, as the team’s balance stalled at ten points earned during his prime 11 league games. “This year we have not seen a continuous improvement in results, performance or our position in championship, which are things we all look forward to, “said Christian Purslow, Aston Villa CEO, in a statement posted on the site web of the club. “That’s why we decided to make a change now to give a new manager time to make an impact.” Smith, the former Brentford manager, took over from Aston Villa in October 2018, when the team was 15th in First Division. Smith brought the Aston Villa in Premier League through the playoffs in its first season in this position and then led them to stay in Premier League and reach the League Cup final. Aston Villa finished eleventh in league last season but missed the efforts of star Jack Grealish, who moved to Manchester City in summer, and now Aston Villa is only two points away from relegated places in the Premier League standings.
