After a week of intense speculation about who will become the next Aston Villa manager following the sacking of Steve Bruce, it finally ended yesterday.
Villa confirmed on their official website and on social media networks that Dean Smith will become their next boss, and former Chelsea skipper John Terry will be his assistant.
Former French international Thierry Henry was also considered for the post, but Villa quickly took the decision after it became clear that the Arsenal legend is keen to take charge of Monaco instead.
Former Villa players Stan Collymore and Shaun Teale took to social networking site Twitter to express their reactions after the news broke out.
