Darren Bent hopes that whoever Aston Villa appoint as their new manager brings some excitement to the club.
The West Midlands outfit sacked Alex McLeish at the culmination of the Premier League campaign and now star striker Bent wants a fresh start with the replacement to get things going at Villa Park after a lean run in recent seasons.
"Villa under Martin O'Neill, back in the day, finished sixth three years in a row and were on the up before whatever happened, happened.
"A new manager will bring stability to Aston Villa so that the club can move forward and grow.
"It's exciting. We have no idea who it will be but whoever it is I am sure they'll come in, do a good job, take that passion for Villa and take us where we belong.
"There are good players and with one or two additions that the manager will have in mind I'm sure we will have a better season than the last.""There's lots of clubs where the manager's been in charge for a while and you watch the club grow," Bent told the Birmingham Mail.
