 Aston Villa have appointed Kevin MacDonald as the club’s assistant manager. The 54-year-old has left Nottingham Forest to return to Villa Park and become Tim Sherwood’s No2, and will be in the dugout for Saturday’s visit of Stoke.MacDonald was the reserve team manager at Villa and was also the caretaker manager in 2010 following the exit of Martin O’Neill. He joins the first-team coach, Mark Robson, and the performance analyst, Seamus Brady, as part of Sherwood’s backroom team. He had been at Forest since the summer as their lead professional development phase coach and took the club’s under-18 side to the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals. Sherwood said on Thursday he was looking for a long-term assistant to help him rebuild Villa. “I am still giving thought to the assistant manager, whoever I bring in will be the correct one for myself and the football club. I’ll make sure I’ll get that one right. I would rather not jump into it. I want someone for the long-term at the club, to help me build it.” Source: Guardian

Useful appointment whether Villa stay up or not. Knows the club and both Divisions.
The names are interesting - MacDonald, Brady and Robson...Malcolm, Liam and Bryan they're not!
