Aston Villa name Rangers boss Steven Gerrard as new manager
Gerrard joins a Villa side who have not collected a Premier League point since beating Manchester United on 25 September.
Under Smith, Villa finished 11th in the Premier League last season but following talisman Jack Grealish's move to Manchester City in the summer, results started to slip.The club have picked up just 10 points from the first 11 games of the season - and are experiencing their worst losing run since January to February 2017 in the Championship.
"He then took the brave decision to test himself in the intense and high pressured environment of the Scottish Old Firm. His subsequent achievement in winning the Premiership title with Glasgow Rangers really caught our eye as did his experience in Europe. The following season saw Gerrard win his first piece of silverware as a manager, Rangers going unbeaten as they lifted the Scottish title for the 55th time, finishing 25 points clear of Celtic.Following that title win, Gerrard said Rangers was a club that had "grabbed" him.
