Aston Villa has parted ways with manager, Remi Garde after finally agreeing a pay-off with the bottom placed side of the English Premier League club.
Manager Garde had continued to take training during this international break but has been negotiating an exit package as there were three years left on his contract.
A breakthrough was made on Tuesday to agree a severance deal and the club have confirmed his parting by “mutual consent”.
Relegation-bound, rock-bottom Villa have put coach Eric Black in charge ahead of Chelsea’s visit for the Saturday lunchtime game.
Villa were willing to wait until the summer to replace Garde with the club doomed to relegation after only two league wins under him.
But Garde, 49, hastened his departure following six straight defeats by complaining his position had become untenable after the club failed to back him in January.
A statement said: “Manager, Remi Garde, has today left Aston Villa Football Club by mutual consent.
“The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Rémi for all his efforts during a difficult period and wish him well in the future.
“Eric Black will take over as acting manager until the club appoints a new manager.”
