With Martin O’Neill responsible for bringing a struggling Aston Villa side to a level capable of challenging for the Premier League’s top four, it is no wonder why club owner Randy Lerner is clearly delighted at having tied up the Irishman for at least another season.

"I gave Martin assurances that I also wanted to take the team forward. I want to make it clear that Martin will be back next year managing,” Lerner emphasised on the league’s official website. "That’s been settled. We feel very good about that as it represents continuity for the players and in many other ways.”

Confirmation of the agreement means O’Neill will be at the helm at Villa Park for a fifth successive year.
