Steven Gerrard's backroom team have followed him out of Aston Villa.

Gerrard was sacked as manager by Villa after last night's 3-0 defeat at Fulham.

Aston Villa have also announced Gary McAllister, Neil Critchley, Tom Culshaw, Jordan Milsom and Scott Mason have all left the club.

First-team coach Aaron Danks will take charge of the team for Sunday's Premier League match against Brentford at Villa Park and will be supported by additional Bodymoor Heath technical and coaching staff.

CEO Christian Purslow said: “The Board has come to this decision following a full evaluation of results and performances over the calendar year. We were clear when we appointed Steven that we set an objective of continuous improvement but that has not been achieved despite everybody's best efforts and we believe the time is right to make these changes now.

“The process of appointing a new Head Coach is underway and we will update supporters as soon as possible."
