Aston Villa took the decision to part company with long-term manager Dean Smith at the weekend, and are now on the hunt for his successor.

Smith was relieved of his duties on Sunday in the aftermath of a 1-0 defeat against Southampton on Friday evening, with the club currently sitting 16th in the Premier League table.

The Villans are on a run of five straight defeats in the top flight, with club chiefs deciding that the time is right for a change in the dugout.
