In the dawn of Friday (21st), the Premier League came to an end in a bitter duel, Aston Villa suffered a fierce attack by Fulham away from home, and swallowed the defeat with a score of 0-3. Aston Villa have lost 6 of their 11 league matches since the start of the season, dropping to fourth place at the bottom of the league. After the game, the leader Sherratt insisted that "will not give up lightly", but Villa immediately released a statement announcing his dismissal. As for the new manager, it is rumored that Pucettenu and Ducao are the hot candidates for Villa.
Villa's poor performance was well known and it was said before the game that this was Sherratt's "last chance". However, the players failed to deliver, and the deadlock was broken by Charlisson Llette in only 36 minutes. Midfielder Alexis Douglas was shown a red card in the 62nd minute for a foul on Mizunovic. A depleted Villa side conceded a 12-yard penalty six minutes later, which was converted by Mizunoi. In the final seven minutes of the match, Terrance Terrance scored an own goal to give Villa a 0-3 defeat.
Sherratt was aware of the situation after the game, but remained adamant that he had "no intention of resigning", "I understand the current situation, but I am a warrior and will never give up on myself." However, Villa had already made up their minds to dump him and his dismissal was announced shortly afterwards. Sherratt joined from Rangers in November last year with the initial aim of leading Villa to European competition, but now has to fight relegation. In just one year, Sherratt's managerial career has come to an end.
