Surprised he left Rangers mid season and won't go down well with the Rangers fans but it's a step in the right direction. He's working up the ranks the right way and not doing a Ole straight in the big time only to make himself look like a Cnut.
Much as I don't like SG for obvious reasons you can't knock how his management career has gone so far. Started well at Rangers and put them back on the map. He now moves up the ladder to a Premier league cup and not a bad one at that. Villa have a decent history and all though not accieved anything in a while it's the perfect step for the next part of SG career as a manager.
Obviously it's a big step up in class going from Scottish football to Premier league but do think he will do ok. Hopefully I'm wrong and he fails
However, if things do go well you know his next job will be taking Klopps when he retires or moves on.
