Which ex-Aston-Villa players are currently managers?
« on: January 30, 2022, 06:00:45 PM »
Whilst reading about Kevin Phillips taking over as manager of seventh-tier South Shields...

(see here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/28/kevin-phillips-south-shields-manager-interview-sunderland)

...I was surprised to learn that he took over from Graham Fenton!

This made me wonder which ex-players are currently trying their hand at management..? And are any of them doing well? (Any future Brian Littles out there?)

(And are there any other examples of one ex-Aston Villa player taking over the reigns from another anywhere? I can think of John Gregory replacing Brian Little, who himself replaced Ron Atkinson who was at Villa as a player but never appeared for the first team.)

Savo is a manager, although it looks like he's currently unemployed having left Ljubljana in October.

Can we include Assistant Managers, if so, Jack Grealish. Every time I've seen him this season he's next to Pep.

Nobby Solano, as well as being assistant manager of Peru, is manager of the Peruvian Olympics team (which I think is a fancy way of saying their Under 23s national side).

I had completely forgotten about Habib Beye. I even had to google him to remind me when he was with us. What a mad signing that was.
