Popular Post KJT123 Posted November 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2015 Aston Villa Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Rémi Garde as our new manager. The 49-year-old Frenchman is widely regarded as one of Europe's most exciting coaches and has agreed a contract that will run until the end of season 2018/19. Rémi enjoyed a successful three-year period as manager of Ligue 1 side Lyon where he led the club to the Couple de France and Trophee des Champions as well as the quarter-finals of the Europa League, successfully implementing his own brand of highly entertaining football in the process. He is also renowned for developing young talent and the Club is thrilled to have secured his services. Tom Fox, Aston Villa Chief Executive, said: "For the past year we have been working purposefully to transform the Club in order to build a successful organisation that can compete and succeed in the Premier League. "Finding a manager who shares and believes in our vision and has the ability to bring it to life through performances on the pitch is essential. We are confident that Rémi is the manager who can deliver the best from the current squad and help set the club up for future success". Rémi Garde said: "It is an unbelievable honour to be the manager of such an illustrious football club. "I've had extremely positive meetings with both the owner, Randy Lerner, and Chief Executive Tom Fox. They have ambitious plans for the Club and I'm excited that they have turned to me to help them realise them. "Obviously we have a difficult task in front of us but I'm looking forward to the challenge with the support of everyone who loves Aston Villa." Chairman Randy Lerner added: "Rémi came with ideas, honesty, humour and a steely sense of what it will take for Aston Villa to be what it is meant to be - hard working, tireless, creative and unwilling to concede. "Nobody at Villa can deny that we are way behind. We recruited aggressively this past summer and it is our responsibility to now harvest this talent rather than buckle under pressure and criticism - we are better than that. On behalf of the Board we wish Rémi every success." http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~5113718,00.html 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sam3773 Posted November 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2015 I thought Paul Lambert would do well...I thought Tim Sherwood would restore us to some glory...So, no offense Remi, but given my track record, I hope you're crap. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This is probably the most interesting managerial appointment made during the Lerner era - in that, I don't really know what to expect!With MON, Houllier (to a lesser degree), McLeish, Lambert and Sherwood it was pretty clear how we'd play/line up and ultimately perform.The romantic in me would love Garde to come in, instill some confidence and an attacking style of play that a) gets results and b ) is entertaining to watch.Good Luck Remi! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
