Steven Gerrard has had an instant impact at Aston Villa, where his players have been 'super impressed' by his coaching staff and training sessions, according to Rio Ferdinand.
The former Liverpool captain replaced Dean Smith in the Villa Park dugout earlier this month and has enjoyed a flying start to his life as Premier League manager.
Villa had lost five games in a row prior to Gerrard's arrival, but are now on a two-game winning streak after beating Brighton 2-0 at home last week and winning 2-1 at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
