Steven Gerrard’s former Liverpool team-mate, Jamie Carragher, has given reasons why he was sacked as Aston Villa manager.
The Midlands club announced Gerrard has left the club following a 3-0 defeat against Fulham on Thursday night.
Carragher has now claimed that poor results and fans’ reaction during and after matches is why the former England midfielder is out of job.
“Results is why it went wrong for Gerrard. I don’t think there’s too much of a shock that the news came out after the game.
“You saw the reaction of the Villa fans to the performance and the result at Fulham and it’s just whether the Aston Villa board would let Stevie take the game against Brentford because it’s so close around the corner on Sunday.
“But I think the reaction from the Villa fans – maybe they felt that the ground maybe a little bit toxic on Sunday – and so it was better for all parties to part ways,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
