Roberto Di Matteo has been sacked by Aston Villa following the club's disappointing start to the season.
Aston Villa have sacked Roberto Di Matteo with the club languishing in the lower reaches of the Championship.
Di Matteo was brought in over the close season with the target of leading Villa back into the Premier League following relegation in May.
But the former Schalke, West Brom and Chelsea boss - he led the London club to the Champions League title in 2012 - departs with Villa in 19th place, having won just one of their opening 11 games.
