Aston Villa manager sacked after eight months

Aston Villa have sacked manager Tim Sherwood after eight months in charge.
Villa are currently 19th in the Premier League table following a 2-1 defeat by Swansea on Saturday – the club’s sixth straight league loss.
The club said in a statement: “The board believes the results on the pitch were simply not good enough and that a change is imperative.”
Ex-Everton and Manchester United manager David Moyes is among those in the frame to replace Sherwood, 46.
