Aston Villa manager latest: The favourites to replace Steve Bruce ranked by bookmaker’s odds
SkyBet have revealed the managers backed to succeed Bruce now he has been sacked by the Villa Park club
Steve Bruce has finally been sacked by Aston Villa, with the Championship club confirming their decision on Wednesday.
Bruce, 57, guided the Villa Park club to the second tier play-off final last season, but he was dismissed amid fan discontent and after a poor run of form that sees Villa in the bottom half of the table after 11 matches.
His final match was a 3-3 draw at Preston that saw Villa score an injury time equaliser and then, moments later, miss a penalty that could have secured them all three points. Before the game fan anger came to the fore, with a cabbage thrown at Bruce from the stands.
The club made the decision to dismiss Bruce following Tuesday's clash, and they are now on the hunt for their new manager.
