Aston Villa have this afternoon confirmed that they have sacked Steve Bruce after he managed just one won of their last 10 games.
Last night’s 3-3 draw at home to Preston saw chants from fans to sack him as well as a cabbage being thrown in the direction of Bruce.
He leaves Villa with 15 points from 11 Championship games and 12th in the table.
