Aston Villa goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shay-Given-c33284 has revealed he was looking forward to the appointment of Paul Lambert as the manager of the club.
After http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 stopper, it would be good news for the club if they did end up signing Lambert as the manager of the club.
The 36-year-old is currently in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 with the Republic of Ireland squad as they make preparations for the European Championships. Given revealed he believes the appointment of Lambert as the manager of Aston Villa would be amazing for the club.
Given said while speaking to reporters:
“If that's the case - I have no idea, because I am stuck in Italy somewhere, about what's going on at Aston Villa - but if Paul was to come in, he would be a great appointment because he is a fantastic manager.
Since he took the hot-seat at any club he has been at, he has just gone all the way up all the time, so hopefully if they can get that done, that would be great news for the club.”
Given admitted Lambert had a fantastic record with the clubs he had taken over in the past and was hopeful he would do the same with Aston Villa. The Villains finished at 16th place on the Premier League table at the end of the season, after which Alex McLeish was sacked.
After the sacking of the former Birmingham City manager, Lambert seems to be the fan favourite, which is why the club is considering bringing him in. Given believed the sooner the manager was appointed, the better it would be for the club, especially since the summer transfer window was upon them and the new manager’s first task would be to make signings.
He added:
“The sooner the manager is in place for next season - because he will have targets and players he will want to get in himself - the sooner that's done, the better.”
