I think that's the way the game has evolved, it's been a sore weekend for Steven Gerrard."

RANGERS hero Kris Boyd reckons a possible Ibrox return for Steven Gerrard would be a non-starter.

"Moved on and it wasn’t meant to be at Aston Villa. I think Steven has come up and done the job he needed to do in Scotland. Asked if it was a possibility, he told Sky Sports: “No, I don’t think so.

The Scotland legend offered advice to his fellow former Ibrox gaffer following his sacking by Aston Villa last week.

There’s no disgrace in not being successful at a football club as a manager. And he said: “He’ll have to drop down the league. There’s no disgrace in getting the sack. This is the first time in his career he’s had negativity. Steven Gerrard has shown a steely determination throughout his playing career and he’ll show that again this time.

Former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has been linked with the England job after his dismissal at Aston Villa earlier this month.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be Southgate’s third major tournament in charge of England. Former Premier League bosses Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel have also been linked with the England managerial job in recent times. But he is currently in the hot seat at Goodison Park with Everton. Both have been rumoured with a return to club management in England. “It wouldn’t surprise me if he was one of the candidates for the England job next,” said ex-England international Bent.

Villa confirm the appointment of a 'highly experienced top-level coach who has managed over 900 games' just days after axing Gerrard.

Yet he has revived his reputation back in La Liga and was the subject of interest from Newcastle United prior to Eddie Howe’s appointment. Though he led them to a Europa League final, which they lost to Chelsea in Baku, he was axed just 18 months into the job with the Gunners winless in seven and on their worst run of form since 1992 under George Graham. Captain John McGinn described the Fulham result as “embarrassing to be part of”, with fans jeering Gerrard and singing “get out of our club”.

Aston Villa have named Unai Emery as their new manager after the Premier League club paid the Spaniard's €6m release clause at Villarreal.

Villa is 14th in the standings with 12 points and next travels to fourth-placed Newcastle United on Saturday. Villa sacked Gerrard last Thursday after the Midlands club collected just nine points from 11 games this season. But his claim to fame is an ability to win Europa League titles, lifting the trophy three times with Sevilla and once with Villarreal to hold the record for most titles won by a manager in that competition.

That's a big if based on his record in the Premier League so far, however, over the course of his career he has often been extremely promising, and his Bundesliga form would suggest there is much more of him to come in the Premier League. In Villa's new formation, Bailey was given the freedom to take reins of the team and he immediately caught the eye with a goal and an assist. Despite this, Bailey had a promising pre-season over the summer and looked back to his peak shape. At the heart of Villa's revival in the game was Leon Bailey. The very early evidence would appear to suggest that Gerrard may have been the weight holding Villa down. But the bitterly disappointing end only got more bitter over the weekend.
