Gerrard out as manager of Premier League club Aston Villa

Associated Press  

LONDON — Steven Gerrard’s tenure as Aston Villa manager ended after a 3-0 loss to Fulham on Thursday. I’m a fighter, I will never, ever quit anything whether it’s football or in life.” Villa managed just four wins in its last 22 Premier League games under Gerrard dating back to March. The Liverpool great was hired last November in a Premier League return that many expected would eventually lead to the manager’s role back at Liverpool, where he played 710 matches — many as captain — and is widely regarded as one of its best players. The 42-year-old Gerrard joined Villa after a 3½-year stint in Scottish soccer where as a first-time head coach he transformed the fortunes of Rangers and ended the long-time dominance of Glasgow rival Celtic.
