Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has praised Remi Garde and admitted he would like to see him as the next manager of Aston Villa.
The French, former Gunners midfielder and Premier League winner is the front-runner for the job after Tim Sherwood was sacked and Wenger believes that having not given the previous two managers enough time at the club, Randy Lerner must give the next man time to settle and allow his ideas at the club to flourish.
I’m convinced that he’s the frontrunner. There are some problems to sort out there with his assistants, who work for Lyon as well. I don’t know if he will manage to sort that out or not. It is a challenge that he should take. Are assistants of Lyon free or not? It doesn’t matter, it’s a challenge he should take.
Wenger also gave some advice to Garde, claiming he must stick to his core ideas and not allow anyone to deter him.
You know our job is to be faithful to your personality and have the courage to live with your ideas.
Honestly I have a lot of respect for all the managers who have worked at Villa. I think they are all quality managers. But they had no technical stability at Villa until now. It shows that the club, as long as it doesn’t manage to get technical stability, the results are up and down. Hopefully he will be given time. I believe Sherwood wasn’t given time, Lambert wasn’t given time to turn things round and many very good managers have failed there. I don’t know why exactly, you need to know the internal problems inside the club that I don’t know.
Arsenal face Swansea City on Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Stadium and will look to continue their fine Premier League form, with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil expected to come back into contention. Meanwhile, Aston Villa take on Tottenham Hotspur and it is alleged that Garde could be in the crowd watching on.
