The wait for a new manager is over, with Randy Lerner appointing Gerard Houllier as permanent manager of Aston Villa, nearly a month after Martin O’Neill stepped down from his post.

It’s been a long wait for supporters, with the betting market suggesting that Bob Bradley, Sven-Goran Eriksson or caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald were in line to be appointed, although Lerner was sufficiently impressed by his initial meeting with Houllier to take discussions further.

It was six years ago that Houllier left Liverpool FC after six relatively successful seasons in charge, with the Frenchman helping the club win numerous pieces of silverware but never troubling the Premier League title.

Aston Villa are 15/8 with bet365 to win at Stoke City on Monday.
