Aston Villa have announced Dean Smith as the new head coach with John Terry as an assistant.
Smith was lured from Brentford and brings in Terry for the former defender's first coaching role.
Smith is a lifelong Villa fan and enjoyed success at Walsall between 2011 and 2015 before switching to Griffin Park.
Former Chelsea star Terry retired from playing this week.
He spent his final season at Aston Villa, captaining the club to the Championship play-off final.
Villa have also appointed a new Sporting Director in the shape of Jesus Garcia Pitarch.
He has been director of football at Valencia and Atletico Madrid and appears a fantastic appointment for the Midlands club.
Aston Villa CEO Christian Purslow said: “These three appointments represent the start of a new era and direction at Aston Villa and we are delighted to secure their services after an extensive search.
“Dean has a clear and successful coaching philosophy as well as a real understanding of Aston Villa Football Club. He is also knowledgeable about the Championship.
“The board welcomes him to the club and is looking forward to working with him and his staff.
