Aston Villa have announced the appointment of Richard O'Kelly to the coaching staff, with the 61-year-old a long time colleague of new Villa boss Dean Smith.
O'Kelly has previously worked with Smith at Walsall and Brentford since 2012 and arrives at Villa Park as assistant head coach. John Terry will work alongside the pair as an assistant coach.
Born in West Bromwich, O'Kelly is a west midlands native and stayed local to the area for much of his own playing career spent at Walsall in the 1980s. He also turned out for Port Vale and Grimsby, before retiring and turning his hand to coaching.
