Dwight Yorke: ‘I’d like to give the Aston Villa job a go’

Tactics Tim is out the Villa Park exit door.

Aston Villa's 2-1 defeat to Swansea, on Saturday, was the mediocre straw that broke Randy Lerner's brittle patience. In a statement released shortly before midday, Villa noted, "The Board has monitored the performances closely all season and believes the results on the pitch were simply not good enough and that a change is imperative." It took less than a minute for the news to break for Dwight Yorke, who was on punditry duty for beIn Sport, to throw his wide-brimmed hat in the ring. https://twitter.com/richardajkeys/status/658250278387494916 The former Aston Villa striker retired in 2010 and, since then, has worked in the corporate and broadcasting side of the game. He also completed his 'B' coaching badge and ran the London Marathon in three hours 32 minutes. What a bloke.
