Dean Smith - Confirmed

[Drummond]

Brilliant news. I wonder if O'Kelly and Terry will be getting new deals too.

[Demitri_C]

I hope so. Have a feeling Terry will be off next summer if not sooner. Won't be long until management opportunities arise. I think  JT will be a future villa manager also.

[ChicagoLion]

Deserved.

 

[Toronto Villa]

Excellent news. He’s learning the game at the highest level and he’s learning it at one of England’s biggest clubs adjusting to the demands and expectations that come with it. He’s made mistakes along the way but he’s playing with house money with every bit of good will he has deservedly banked since he arrived. He’s done so many good things at the club. A club he loves.

Great news. Well done Deano.... deserved.

[Diablo]

Brilliant news!! Delighted for him and us. Now let's climb that table hey pronto (starting on Sunday) and get into the semis of the League Cup. UTV!!

Congrats Deano! Keep up the good work!

[AGRIPPA]

Doing a good job, not sure what the future holds but I reckon he deserves this....

[West Derby Villan]

Great news and well deserved

Great news now he has the time to stamp his authority on the team and club.

I 100% trust this man !
He's absolutely superb in how he conducts himself.
Unbelievable coach
Brilliant ethos in learning and developing both himself and the players.
A positive yet realistic attitude with a fantastic attitude in football philosophy.
I actually would not want any other person in charge of  football coaching duties
The new contract is rightly rewarded and renumeration for a premier league performer !
Finally , and I've said this previously, give Smith the time to have his playing squad and he'll do even better than Chris Wilder.
Wilder has the head start and no surprise for me what sheff utd are achieving.
We're Aston villa and I genuinely believe with in 2 -3 seasons providing stay up Villa will be up challenging and more than competitive.
Dean Smith may well win the League cup this season (maybe FA cup too) I think it's great news and I can't be thank ful enough for having him as villa coach !
Up the villa

Great post. I 100% agree with every word.

[Drummond]

Yet he still keeps picking and playing Wesley.

[manic-road]

Good news for Dean, hopefully he's still here at the end of his new contract because it will mean he's doing a tremendous job.

Great news! Really pleased to hear this.
