Wilkins joins backroom staff


Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood is pleased to announce an addition to his backroom staff with Ray Wilkins MBE joining as assistant manager.

The 58-year-old begins work at the club immediately and brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge.

During his distinguished playing career, Wilkins was a key player for the England international team and player for a host of leading clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, AC Milan and Rangers.

Since hanging up his boots Wilkins has occupied various management positions during two spells at Fulham, two separate periods at Chelsea, as well as at Watford, Millwall, England U21s and most recently the Jordan national team.

Sherwood said: "I'm really pleased to bring Ray on board. He has a fantastic knowledge of the game and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Kevin MacDonald will continue to be part of the coaching set-up with a greater responsibility for developing homegrown talent.
