Paul Lambert has been sacked as manager of Aston Villa after a run of
10 games without a win took them into the Premier League relegation
zone, the club announced on Wednesday.
“Aston Villa Football Club has parted company this evening with manager Paul Lambert,” Villa announced on their website.
“First-team
coach Scott Marshall and goalkeeping coach Andy Marshall will continue
to prepare the squad for Sunday’s FA Cup tie with Leicester City at
Villa Park.”
Lambert, 45, took over at Villa Park in 2012 and led
the Midlands club to 15th-place finishes in his first two seasons, but
the former Scotland midfielder had come under pressure from fans
following a poor run of recent form.
Villa recently went 11 hours without scoring a Premier League goal
and supporters unveiled a banner calling for Lambert to leave during
their 2-0 loss at fellow strugglers Hull City on Tuesday.
“The
club would also like to place on record its thanks to Paul and take this
opportunity to wish him every success in the future,” Villa added.
“The club will announce a new manager in due course. There will be no further comment from the club at this stage.
Wooooow
