Steven Gerrard sacked by Aston Villa
The Birmingham side have won just two of 11 league outings this season.
Aston Villa have sacked manager Steven Gerrard.
It came in the immediate aftermath of the 3-0 Premier League defeat at Fulham.
The Birmingham side have won just two of 11 league outings this season.
Gerrard led Villa to a 14th-place finish last year, after leaving Rangers in November to take the job.
"Aston Villa football club can confirm that head coach Steven Gerrard has left the club with immediate effect," read a Villa statement.
"We would like to thank Steven for his hard work and commitment and wish him well for the future."
"I've been sending messages to the fans for the last few weeks because I certainly share their frustration and their pain," said Gerrard in his post-match press conference.
"I'm someone who is honest. I know that they're not enjoying it at the moment - I'm certainly not - so we'll see what happens moving forward.
"But you know and I know I'm in a very difficult position right now.
"We'll see what happens moving forwards. But football is in my DNA and quitting is certainly not, so we'll see what happens moving forwards."
