Remi Garde escapes humiliation in five worst-ever Aston Villa managers
1. Roberto di Matteo
Aston Villa would probably be a League One club by now if Tony Xia was not quick to rectify what was easily his worst decision at Villa Park.
Roberto di Matteo won just one of 12 games in charge of the West Midlands club before he was sacked and replaced by Bruce.
The Italian had achieved promotion with West Brom in 2009/10 and stunningly won the Champions League and FA Cup at Chelsea in 2011/12 but his time at Villa Park was truly wretched and fans must be counting their lucky stars that they now have Bruce and look as though they could go back up within weeks.
