No one will ever beat who is No 1 in five greatest-ever Aston Villa managers

Aston Villa enjoyed some of their best Premier League years under O’Neill’s leadership and their decline was ultimately the result of the Northern Irishman quitting Villa Park on the eve of the 2010/11 season.

The club would qualify for the Europa League twice under his leadership, but never made it past the qualification rounds.
