Eric Black - New assistant manager

[berneboy]

Telegraph seems clear:
Black, the former Motherwell and Coventry manager, is expected to join up with the Premier League's bottom club next week

Re‎mi Garde has moved to appoint Rotherham coach Eric Black as his new assistant manager at Aston Villa.

Black, the former Motherwell and Coventry manager, is expected to join up with the Premier League's bottom club next week after being headhunted by Garde.

The 52-year-old has established an impressive reputation as a coach, working under Steve Bruce and Gary McAllister, and will boost Garde's backroom team at Villa Park.

I hope Black is swiftly followed by replacements for Kozak, Westwood and Bacuna.

According to the Telegraph,  Eric Black will be  appointed Asst Mgr til the end of the season. He has a good reputation and the bonus ( as far as ´ l'équipe des Villans´ are concerned )  of 5 years experience of playing in France...........Godzvilla!

Black's experience with Metz as a player for five years has proven pivotal for Garde, who has many French speaking players in his squad.
Garde has been working without a recognised No 2 since his appointment in November and Villa's board had attempted to persuade him to take on Steve Round, David Moyes's former assistant.
But Black is Garde's own choice and is set to agree a deal which will run initially until the end of the season.

Previously worked with Dr. Jospeh Venglos.

From the little I know, this doesn't seem massively impressive; but I remain open-minded.

ready for the Black days ahead

[Des Little]

A positive is that he will have an extremely good knowledge of the Championship and the players within it, so should the worst happen and we drop his experience will be a useful asset.

I seem to remember Black bouncing around on the blues bench, with Mr potato head when the played us.

Let's hope he can coach getting people into the box.

[supertom]

Well he's experienced and he's not a complete joke of an appointment like Keane or Wilkins. Remi needs help and we need a proper staff line up. Good luck to him.

Hasn't it almost become a case of just getting someone in the door.

Well said

[CT Villan]

He worked under old red nose at Aberdeen during their most successful spell - hopefully he's brought his hairdryer with him. He was also a decent striker so perhaps he can teach Kozak and Gestede a thing or two. We'll see.

[Lobsterboy]

He's only 52 so might be worth registering him as a striker and playing instead of Gestede?

Just had a look at the Rotherham United web site.
As at 1hour 20 minutes ago site states that Assistant Manager Eric Black has left the club by mutual agreement. Started in the summer as first team coach and was promoted to AM in October.

No comment as to where he is going but that he had received an offer elsewhere.
