Hehe.....A truly dismal season for Aston Villa has taken another sorry turn on 29 March following the club's announcement that manager Remi Garde has left his position by mutual consent after less than five months in charge. The former Lyon boss, who represented Arsenal during his playing career, was appointed as successor to Tim Sherwood on a three-and-a-half year contract in November 2015 but was unable to reverse their rapid descent to the foot of the Premier League.Villa's fifth manager in as many years after the truncated reigns of Gerard Houllier, Alex McLeish, Paul Lambert and the hapless Sherwood, Garde won just three of his 23 matches in charge across all competitions, drawing seven and losing 13. The 49-year-old's last game at the helm was a 1-0 defeat at Swansea City that all but ended the hosts' flirtation with relegation but left their opponents rooted to the bottom and 12 points adrift of 17th-place Norwich City with just seven fixtures remaining." Confirming his exit in a statement released via their official website, Villa said: "Manager, Remi Garde, has today left Aston Villa Football Club by mutual consent. The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Remi for all his efforts during a difficult period and wish him well in the future.
