BREAKING NEWS: Garde leaves Villa as relegation draws near

Remi Garde has left his role as Aston Villa manager after two wins in 20 Premier League matches for the Championship-bound club.

Remi Garde has left Aston Villa by mutual consent with the club seemingly condemned to relegation from the Premier League.

Garde was appointed at Villa Park in November after predecessor Tim Sherwood claimed a haul of four points from the opening 10 league matches of the season – the solitary victory coming on the opening day against AFC Bournemouth.

But the former Lyon boss has fared little better, winning just two of his 20 league games in charge.
