It was a forward thinking move by Doug that didn't work out. We had some good memories with Dr Jo. I'll remember those. RIP

Jozef Venglos dead at 84 as former Celtic manager who signed Lubomir Moravcik passes away

The former Hoops manager was the first foreigner to manage in the English top flight.

That's a shame. Like TV said, a brave appointment by Doug and by all accounts he was a very nice man who felt embarrassed by some of our results. So sad.

One of the first foreign managers in the top flight, ahead of his time. I recall people being bemused by post match warm downs, now fairly common practice. Right man, wrong time.

Villa’s visionary: The manager with the short spell and long legacy

Dr Josef Vengloš' brief stint in charge of Aston Villa is remembered, if at all, as a failure. But 30 years on, it can be seen also as a crucial moment in the transformation of English football, says Roger Domeneghetti.

On an unseasonably warm night in October 1990, Elton Welsby welcomed the viewers of ITV's The Match to Villa Park for a UEFA Cup tie between Aston Villa and Internazionale.


The match generated huge interest both in England and abroad. It was the biggest game played by an English team in European competition since the ban imposed after Heysel was lifted. It also pitted English and Italian teams against each other for the first time since the tragedy five years earlier.

The match was notable for another reason. In the Villa dugout was Dr Josef Vengloš, the club's new manager and the first man not born in the British Isles to take charge of a top-flight English team.

I liked Dr Jo and think he was a good manager that English football was not quite ready for.

RIP. Always seemed a good man, didn't work out at Villa for one reason or another and had an excellent career elsewhere. Always wondered whether he might have made a success of it at Villa if not for blatantly crooked officiating in the second leg against Inter.

Sad news.
Like someone else posted, ahead of his time.

Am I right in thinking he was the first foreign coach in the English top division?

Edit, just read article above 👍
